"William - not sure if this message ever reached you. Is there any more background on the Douglases of Ulstoune"
"William
I was having a brief look at some SRO documents and came across this one GD40/31/570 which I think also appears in the Douglas archives. Dated 1679
Contract for tack by Robert Earl of Lothian to John Douglas portioner in Newbattle as Tutor…"

"James , the more wide ranging searches started once I hit the brick wall on my own lines , tried to put a ribbon on other puzzles I had....Pringle happened to pop up in one . must be nice to be so close to your sources .
cheers…"
"William
Thanks for that. And yes quite a lot of fraught debate based on DNA evidence. It seems that they have settled the Stichill claim but where that leaves the people who have been cut out!
Anyway I hope that the information re Richard D…"
"Very useful research, James. Thank you.
It is worth noting that there are rival claims as to Pringle genealogy.
Whichever I use, there was always someone putting forward an opposing view, not always in a friendly fashion!"

"William
One additional thing concerning another Douglas/Murray Marriage, and in fact a Douglas/Douglas marriage because a Richard Douglas Advocate in Edinburgh appears to be married twice and had issue
This may help to inform some of the issues…"
"William
In the course of chasing up some minor issues – of which more below, I came across a reference to a Pittendreich after noting that there could be some confusion between two -places of that name in Moray and Midlothian.
I seem…"
"William
Thanks for the reply. Not quite sure what to make of the Thomas reference but it appears at the same time as a John Douglas which might be 'my' John Douglas. There could even be something in the Ker archive.
After all you…"
"I think that I may have had an email enquiry about Thomas Douglas Chamberlain to the Earl of Lothian some years ago, but cannot turn it up now.
So, lets call it new information!"
"William.
I have not managed to find out much more about Magdalen Murray wife of Alexander apart from her burial record in Edinburgh 1708.
My skills are not up to editing it but you can see as relict of Alexander D Writer
It is a bit difficult to…"
"William
I have manged to do a bit more work on this using the Gask Charters as a spine to give it some sort of timeline.
You should be able to see the relationship between the Patrick/Magdalen Murray marriage and Thomas Murray of Glendoick _ I…"
"William
Thank you for that. A bit later but as you say there could be a link and I will do a bit more research
I may not have mentioned it before but Janet Douglas daughter of John in Cockpen had a daughter called Magdalen. It was quite far…"

William
My apologies at having to sign in again but I was having difficulty with the old e mail address.
You will probably recall some time ago, a debate about the Douglas footprint in Cockpen and adjacent parishes,
My personal interest in this is in Newbattle but having returned to the subject recently I think that I may have some information which may be of more general interest. From that comes some issues with the research I was doing…
