William Douglas
Welcome to our group, James.
I have not been very successful in my Cumberland research, but there are some names on this list which may help: http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/Lists/cumberland_inhabitant...
I will be updating the page later today, if I can find more.
Also, I suggest that you search this section using the box top right. There are several 'Cumberland' references.
Yours aye,
William

William Douglas
I have just located a Rev John Douglas, who was a curate in St Bees in 1825. I am working on his entry right now. He could be a relative?
I am adding more to the Cumberland page today, as well. And linking in this entry: http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/clementina_douglas.htm which is a bit of unproven fun with a supposed Bonnie Prince Charlie connection.
But you are more interested in Ireland. We have a group for Douglas families in Ireland.
