Marriage* |
October 1423 |
Elizabeth Mary Douglas married Alexander Forbes , 1st Baron Fo(r)bes, son of John Forbes of the Black Lip and Margaret Elizabeth of Dunmore Kennedy, October 1423 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Tompsett gives this marriage but no children. The clan page gives the date of 1421. This seems a bit late. Other resources give a date of Oct 1423. So there is NO agreement as to when this marriage occurred.3,5,6,7 |
