Biography

Marion Montgomerie was a member of the aristocracy in British Isles.

Marion Montgomerie is a member of Clan Montgomery.

Marion Montgomerie was born in Scotland.

Marion was born after 1513. She was the daughter of John Montgomery.^[1][2]

She married Thomas Crawfurd of Auchinames. He died in 1541.^[3]

After his death in 1541, she married William Sempill, 2nd Lord Sempill before 1505.^[4][4][5] He passed away on 3 Jun 1552.

After his death, she married John Campbell of Skipnish.^[2][4][5] They had one child, a daughter:

1. Jean^[3]

Marion died after 20 Dec 1556.^[4]

Research Notes

Paul, in Scots Peerage, states that Marion was the sister of John rather than the daughter.^[6] His source, however, is Paterson, who shows that she was the daughter of John.^[1] Montgomery also cites Paterson but while maintaining that she was the daughter of John.^[2] With Marion's second marriage taking place after 1541, it is difficult to believe that she would have been born before circa 1490 although more clear dates for her first marriage or first child would help clarify this question.

Marion was the third wife of her second husband, William Sempill, whose first wife was named Margaret Montgomerie. Marion is often confused with Margaret.^[7]

Marion's father died on 9 Sep 1513 placing Marion's birth no later than 9 months after that date.
