Midlothian / edinburgh, george heriot, royal goldsmith, c.1563 to 1624, who was his mother
« on: Monday 01 February 16 20:58 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching george heriot the famous royal jeweller.

As far as the identity of his father is concerned, I agree with all the secondary sources which say that his father was George Heriot elder goldsmith 1539/40–1610.  However these secondary sources also claim that George Heriot younger's mother was Elizabeth Balderstone. 

Based on my research to date I cannot believe Elizabeth was his mother. 

Has anyone found any evidence in primary sources of his mother's name?

Fife / Re: fife culross primrose and blaw 1550 onwards

Thanks for all your replies, which contain some interesting info.

However I suspect that I may have to approach the present Earl of Rosebery to see if he can give me a proper source for the Primrose Blaw marriage mentioned in my original post.

Thanks again.

Fife / fife culross primrose and blaw 1550 onwards
« on: Saturday 30 January 16 18:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there.

In the oxford dictionary of national biography it states that "Primrose, James (d. 1640), government official, was the second son of Archibald Primrose, of Culross, Perthshire, a law agent, and Margaret Bleau/Blaw, of Castlehill".  It is stated elsewhere that Archibald Primrose (who was a tax collector for King James VI) was their first son.

Can anyone provide a source for the marriage of Primrose and Blaw?

Thanks
