Hello Keith,

What denomination were the Douglas and Maxwell families? As Civil Registration in Scotland was not introduced until 1855 you'll probably have to rely on Church Records. It's possible that you may find an Irish connection too ... the Portpatrick to Donaghadee crossing is only twenty one miles ... a two hour journey in the days of sail.
