    I joined this website as I have recently come across some history of my G Grandmother's family. Her maiden name was Emily Sarah Douglas and her father was Donald Douglas, b1813 in Logierait, Perthshire. He worked in London -in 1851 as steward of the Archery Club in Hanover Gardens Peckham. His wife was a McPherson of Nuid=probably illegitimately-and I wonder if her connections got him the job in London. My mother remembers Emily Douglas asa formidable old lady clad in black with a lace cap.

    Hi Sue,

     

    I think your John Donald Douglas and mine are different people. Mine was married to Marie Louise Gouyn, not a McPherson.  And my JDD was a steward in the Royal Scotish Society.

     

    Cheers

    Sue,

    On second thought, after reading your comment again, it is possible. I know John's father was Alexander Douglas. I know nothing else about him including his wife's name...

    Ring a bell?
