I note a George Douglas born about 1803 in Hownam, Roxburghshire, Scotland who was buried on 13 Feb 1886 in Tiaro, Queensland, Australia. He married Elspeth Bogue and had five children. Elspeth Bwas born about 1804 in Inchture, Perthshire, Scotland. She died before 1861 in Britain.
The children appear to have been born in Kirklsiton. So the family moved around before emigrating to Australia.

I have not identified George's parents - yet. There may be some clues on this page: http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/families/douglas_of_swinsid...
