I haven't worked out who these Douglas people are? A different Gabriel to Gabriel 1784? See below 

This looks to be Gabriel in the 1841 census. I'll list as is showing on FreeCen rather than the other index.  Everyone showing as born in the county:

Gabriel Douglass 55, inn keeper,
Jane Douglass    45
Richard Douglass 25, Independent
Ann Douglass    5
Marry Gerran    25, servant
James Gibb    20, printer
Margt Nouat    10
Marry Nouat    15
Marry Wallace    15, servant
John Anderson    20, coachman

Address: Tempelhill, Dundonald Ayrshire

Hello Rockhoper,

I believe this is the same Gabriel than was born in 1874. I am not sure who the other people listed at that address (The Portland Inn Hotel) are.

Yes I agree about it being the same Gabriel - his first wife Elizabeth Paterson died c1831 and he married Margaret Anderson on 28/2/1832 at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.  Gabriel was a Watchmaker and Inkeeper and Vintner and Margaret a Vintner - they were at the Portland Arms Troon by 1837 to 1846 (at least)
I'm wondering if Richard 25 "Independent" was another son - he would have been born c1816 with Ann Douglas 5 being Richard's daughter? I wonder too if John Anderson 20 "Coachman" was a nephew of Margarets? The girls are likely Mary Wallace Howat 18 and Margaret Howat 12 - even though their ages don't match the Census (also Nouat does not make sense as a name). Who then is Jane 45? A bit of a puzzle
