Biography
Possible other spellings for last name: Creyke, Craik.
Born 3 JAN 1617. Cottingham, Yorkshire, England.
Catherine married James, Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock Scotland Aug 10, 1636[1]
Died 1650 Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. [2]
Buried 7 FEB 1650. Wakefield, All Saints, Yorkshire, England. [3]
Uncertain Father's Name
Sources agree that Catherine was baptized on 3 January 1618, either at Bridlington[4] or Cottingham, Yorkshire, England (37 miles apart).[5]
Her father was either John or Robert Creyke/Crayke, disinherited son of Ralph Creyke/Crayke. According to Scots Peerage, she was the second daughter and coheir of John Crayke of the city of York.[6] He was the eldest but disinherited son of Ralph Crayke of Marton, Yorkshire.[6] The Complete Peerage ... disagrees and calls Catherine "the first daughter of Robert Creyke, of the city of York, the disinherited son of Ralph C. of Marton, co. York."[4] Both seem to refer to the same disinherited son of Ralph; whether his name was John or Robert is uncertain.
Marriage and Children
Catherine married before 1640 to James Boyd, 9th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock.[6] To commemorate their marriage, "James Boyd and Catherine Craik" along with the family arms, was engraved on one of the towers of Dean Castle, the family seat at Kilmarnock.[6]
Children:[6]
- William, Master of Boyd, afterwards first Earl of Kilmarnock, heir and successor.
- Mary Margaret Boyd sometimes said to have married George Keeble of Surrey, England and Robert Beverley of Yorkshire, England, but there is no proof (see her profile)
- Eva, both styled daughters lawful to the deceased James, Lord Boyd, 24 March 1659.[17]
- Jean, married David Cunningham, 1st Baronet of Robertland.[18] She, died 8 May 1665.[19]
