Thanks for the info Leslie. I have been updating the family tree and found that I didn't have that detail.

Did you read the history of Sunlaws that I sent Pam?
regards, R

Hi Leslie,

Just thought you may be interested to know that Hannah-Charlotte Scott Douglas (1834-1921) was the youngest child of Sir John James Douglas and Hannah Charlotte Scott of Belford. Her father died when she was very young.

Before marrying she lived chiefly at Sunlaws the home of her step-father William Scott-Kerr. She married Edward Octavious Douglas though I don't know when.

regards, Robert

Hi Pam. Thanks for letting me now that you were able to read the history of Sunlaws.

Do please use the history detail. Sorry it doesn't help regarding the servants or their lives. I don't know how one goes about finding this out. The only thing of any relevance is perhaps who was actually living in Sunlaws at a particular time. From the history you will see that when the house was rebuilt in 1888/90, the family in residence at the time of the fire in 1885 then consisted of William Scott-Kerr, his daughter Mary by his first wife, Lady Scott Douglas of Springwood and nine children by his second wife Frances Louisa Fennessy, who died in 1884.
All the best with your enquiries. Let me know if you find anything out,
best wishes, Robert

Hello Pam, thanks for our interest in Sunlaws. I have a Word file that is maybe too large to send as text. I hope the file is attached and that you cacn read it. I have no info on those who may have worked at Sunlaws but you will see from the detail on Sunlaws that there must have been many extending over the years!

Robert
Hello Pam, I wondered if you have been able to look at the history of Sunlaws that I sent with my last post and whether any of it was of interest re- your great grandmother.
Regards, Robert

Hi, just happened to be browsing looking for information on Sunlaws when I came across your post asking about the owners/inhabitants of Sunlaws. My family owned and inhabited Sunlaws from when it was built in early times. Andrew Kerr (distant relative) purchased lands of Sunlaws  in 1647. Brig-General Robert Scott-Kerr was possibly living there in the early 1900s. If you are interested I have a short history of Sunlaws.
regards Robert
