Profile Information:

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
I likely descend from a line of the Douglases of Cavers (and baronets of Friarshaw/Springwood Park), who emigrated to Washington, DC in the late 1860s (after two generations in Liverpool after leaving Scotland).

Certain family members I am looking for more details on include an Archibald Harvey Douglas (born circa 1806) in Liverpool. Any help would be fantastic.

    Hi Paul,

    I have had a quick look for Archibald in my usual places (Freecen, Familysearch, ScotlandsPeople etc) and would tend to agree with William's info - in particular, the 1841 census indicates his birthplace as Scotland (not Liverpool).

    I also tidied up Archibald's tree on family search and it now looks like this:

    A couple of pdfs of census info

    I also printed off the wedding record Image from Familysearch:

    There are other source materials available on Familysearch
