    Yours aye,

    William

    Hi Dianne

    Welcome to the Douglas Archives, it is a great site with lots of interesting facts about the Douglas history. 

    I have been looking into John Black Douglas and his life and will be heading back to Rookwood cemetery in a few weeks with some of the Douglas descendants from his son Buchanan Douglas my Great Grandfather.

    I am having trouble with Hugh Douglas' parents.  I have Donald Douglas and Isobel McPherson and the Baptism document from Barony Church says Hugh is the 2nd child I cannot find the 1st Child and I have an Isobel McPherson and a Daniel Douglas having subsequent children in Barony Church, confusing...

    I just can't find the absolute proof that this is his line.
