William Douglas (Grandfather of Robert Bullock Douglas)

Dear William

Well done on the huge amount of work you have put in to the establishment and continuation of the Douglas archives. It is a massive record of the Douglas clan.

From my part I seem to have failed in replying to you. My apologies. I don't think that there was any connection with Edward Bullock Douglas. My great grandmother was Jane Bullock who would have been born in c 1840 and married my great grandfather Robert Douglas on 22 Feb 1866 in Anderton, Glasgow. He was a sailmaker, owning a company Robert Douglas and Sons. 

For my part I left South Africa in July 2021 for France, where I have settled in Verteillac.

Welcome to our community, David.

I have just returned from you neck of the woods, staying with Douglases in Durban.

I have a note of a Edward Bullock Douglas wh was born on 28 June 1774. He was the son of Charles James Sholto Douglas and Mary Bullock. He married Harriet Bullock, daughter of Reverend Richard Bullock, on 14 February 1811. He died on 7 July 1830 at age 56.

Might there be a connection?

I am also working on Douglases in South Africa, so would welcome any assistance in that area..

Yours aye,

William

 
 
 

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
