On this day John Douglas(s) was born in 1814 to James Douglas and Mary nee Varnden
However he died in December 1839 of unknown cause in Egham.

He was presumably named after James's grandfather , the shadowy John Douglas who is the earliest known Douglas I have who could have lived anywhere as all I have is his name

THis John however was my great x 3 uncle

Hmm... Can we have a little chat about your Butler link at some stage? CM's Butler family comes from that part of London so we could have a connection. I do know how common the name is but you never know!
