No - and understand many British newspapers on on-line including many from Scotland. So that's a good idea for sure. I guess I just figured that my family didn't seem very prominent, so unless someone was hanged for stealing a horse or something, they probably wouldn't be in the news! Cheers!
Bob: That's so very kind of you to check; but I'm not surprised there's no mention of any of them in the papers. If I come across any connection between a Wm Douglas and Jean McKie in my line, will let you know. So far, my best chance seems to be this grave in Kirkmadrine of a James Douglas but I'm not 100% sure.........so disappointed that many of these records, as you mentioned, were destroyed in a fire. Thanks ever so much again for all your kind assistance.

Hi Bev.
Do a 'fuzzy match' for James Douglas on SP and let me know what you think of result. Sorry a bit pushed for time re my reply to your last.
