Welcome to our community, Jen.

I do not record ant daughters by James Douglas, 6th laird of Cavers, and have not found any listed elsewhere, so this is very interesting.  I am sure that he did have at least on girl child.  

I do have a note:

William Ellot, 5th Laird of Horselyhill, married Elizabeth Douglas daughter.of James Douglas of Cavers d.1580 and had a son William Ellot of Cavilling, Burgess of Peebles ??(1572-1610??)
However, I am not certain that this is the same generation. If 'your' Elizabeth is the daughter, then this other cannot be.

Betty is a 'pet' name for Elizabeth, and so a record of Betty is unlikely to be on a birth, etc certificate, but something from informal writings.

Can you tell us more?

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?
