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?

I should have added that there is a discussion about the name Primrose here: http://douglashistory.ning.com/profile/AlexSkinner
Welcome to our community, Fiona.
I am hoping that you might be able to solve a mystery. Major-General John Primrose Douglas is listed in the Douglas Archives, but I have been unable to find out much about him - and no family connections. It would be good to sort that out. I am sure there must be a family connection.
There has also been a discussion involving Primroses in Lockerbie, and they too must tie in somehow: http://goo.gl/w5wugh
You were probably hoping for answers to questions, and now I have posed more!
Yours aye,
William
