Thank you for your contribution re the children. However, you now have me inquisitive about the photograph you have added. I note he is not wearing Douglas tartan! However, if this is the man who married Christiana, then I have his name as Major Walter Richard Barnes.
Did he change his name - and were there children?
I am really keen to learn more about Christiana's grandfather, Thomas Willan. He was a very interesting character, but I still know nothing about his parentage, or who he married.
I am interested in Walter Michael Aubrey Douglas as my father is descended from one of his daughters, Georgina Honora Douglas. I was fascinated by the photo as I have never seen a picture of him. Do you have the whole photo? I would love to see more of it or to know its context. I don't know much more on the Douglas side but I have a bit on the Barnes side. Kind regards, Ben Giffard
