I think I have now pretty well exhausted all the information I have on the family but I would be interested to learn of your cousin's burial information.
Please let me know if you have any problems in deciphering!

Hello Kati,
     I see that Solway has been busy and supplied you with a large amount of info on your Douglas family.
If it is of interest to you I have photographs of the headstones relating to John Douglas & Dorothy
Barwise including one of the back of it with the details of their son Alexander. Also one of John Douglas & his 2 wifes Mary & Janet.
     If you would like a copy of them send me a PM with an email address.
 
Rgds Matt.

Hiya...

I have been interested to find and read this thread...

I am also related to John Douglas (1745-1820) and Dorothy Barwise (1745-1822) (5th Great Grand-Parents).

Their son John Douglas (1774/78-1855) married Mary Sergent (1777-1814) (4th Great Grand-Parents).

Their daughter Jane (1813-1887) married Samuel Blythe (1801-1878) (3rd Great Grand-Parents).

Their daughter Alexandrina Anabella Blythe (1846-1925) married Henry Farr (1828-1904) a coach builder in Wigan (2nd Great Grand-Parents).

Their daughter Jeanie Alexandrina Farr (1888-1963) married Richard Edmondson (1866-1937) in Kenya (Great Grand-Parents) and my grandfather and father were both born in Kenya.

I would be interested in any further information on the Douglas / Barwise connection and any photos that might be available of gravestones etc.

Thank you for any help...
