Research Notes
- From a charter by William Douglas of Cavers in 1450 referring to Walter Kerr as his nepoti, one can infer her marriage to Andrew was prior to 1450 placing her birth prior to 1438. Her son Andrew, however, was likely at least 18 years of age on 9 Jul 1466 so that one can place his birth prior to 1448 and the marriage prior to 1447 and Isobel's birth prior to 1435. Digging deeper, however, one can observe that her second son was at least of age 14 on 30 Dec 1449, placing her first son's birth prior to 1434 and her birth prior to 1421.
- The subject of this profile has been detached as a daughter of Egidia Stewart and William Douglas, because there appear to be no realiable sources for such a relationship, and because William Douglas died in 1392. Stevens-17832 20:48, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for calling this to our attention. One set of parents was detached recently from this profile, and it looks like a merge got us in this situation. We'll take a look and try to straighten it out, these parents are clearly not right.
