Hi
Perhaps someone in the Leslie area can help me.
I am looking for MI inscriptions to confirm dates for Douglases of Strathendry ie
To clarify I am looking for dates of the wife of Col Robert Douglas Cicilia (nee Craigie) and their daughter Barbara.
Both Cecilia and Barbara had TB. A photo of any MI would be great! I believe Barbara might have been sent to Europe for her health, but I do not know when or where she died. Thanks.
Their youngest son David was cousin to Adam Smith and his heir upon his death. He married his first cousin Elizabeth Craigie.

Hi sorry to come to this a bit late. I'm descended from Barbara's brother David. I think Barbara died in about 1771 and Cicilia was buried on 19 May 1774. May I ask how you know they had TB, why you think Barbara was sent away, and why you are interested in them?
