Is this Sir James?

James Douglas did not, of course, have a heart in his arms - that was added later.  But might the artist just be taking a liberty?

What seems to be the English flag is, apparently, a sign that he is a Crusader.

Sir James did not go to France, so why the Fleur de Lis on the banner?

What do the club symbols indicate

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?
