She could not have died in 1475 if she had six children after that! Ancestry.com has a death date of 1495.

I was just about to say the same. It bothers me greatly this is so wrong as she is supposedly my 13th great-grandmother. Now I am stuck here with no trust in this particular information. Unfortunately we aren't encouraged to believe much from Ancestry.com. Although, 1495 would seem more appropriate. Now, we must find out!
Erskine-370 and Erskine-104 do not represent the same person because: Her son Malcolm was born about 1395. She must be the wife of his father, John Colquhoun-113, born about 1370.

Erskine-370 and Erskine-961 appear to represent the same person because: Hi Alan: These appear to be profiles of the same person. I would like to retain your pedigree.

Thank you,
