I am rather hoping that you might be able to help me build on them?
I guess your ancestors are
Margaret Douglas, (daughter of George Douglas born 26/4/1802, Hownam, Roxburghshire, and Elspeth Bogue born 21/3/1802) born 26 July 1844 Clifton Hall, Midlothian, Scotland married Joseph FORBES 14 May 1866 at Maryborough, Queensland, Australia and died 11 November 1916 buried at Tiaro, Queensland, Australia. Joseph died 4 October 1917 buried at Tiaro. Joseph listed his occupation as farmer and residence as ”Laburnum Bank” They had 7 children.
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?
