A collection of historical and genalogical records
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?

Hi Mick,
Very good detective work. My records show he was convicted on 31st July 1802, so that must be them
Cheers

Hi Mick,
Sorry I haven't been in touch lately, been a pretty busy year and also I'm very slack!. Thanks very much for the info, I hadn't seen that entry, but will sure do some more digging. This is the first glimmer I have had since I hit the wall.
The photos of Scotland were taken by our kids when they went there on holiday several years ago ( Did I mention that my son's name is also Michael John Douglass? My Daughter is Sarah Jane). Have a great year and I promise mto be in touch more often in the future
Cheers

Hi Mick,
My data says that Henry was indeed married to Catherine Hickson on 4 Nov 1858 in Sofala (NSW). but there is still no mention of Wallace. I wonder if the historians missed him? I looked through all my data and there is no mention of the names in your line. does your data say how many kids Henry and Catherine had (mine says 9) and where did wallace come in?
Cheers

hi Mick,
Having trouble matching the names. Who did Henry marry? I don't have the lineage you sent.
My data says the children of Henry were: Elisha john, henry charles,Evangeline,Albert T,William R,Rowland,Frederick,George Horace and William E.
cheers

Hi Michael,
Really interested to know your background. I have all the info for William back to his leaving England on the Coramandel.
Cheers
