Biography
William (Douglas) Douglas IInd of Lochleven is a member of Clan Douglas.
William was the son of Henry Douglas and Marjory Stewart.[1]
He married Marjory Lindsay, daughter of David, first Earl of Crawford.[2][3][4] They had issue:
About 1415 he had a dispenstion from Bishop Wardlaw of St Andrews to marry Elizabeth LIndsay. There is no evidence that this took place and he married her younger sister Christian Lindsay daughter of Alexander Lindsay earl of Crawford about 1418 [5] They had issue:
- Elizabeth married Sir Richard Lovell of Ballumbie in 1438.
Research Notes
- Scots Peerage, which mentions the first wife in Vol. III, mentions only the second wife in Vol. VI (or more correctly, he mentions the second bride-to-be Elizabeth but the marriage was to her younger sister Christian) and assigns the sons Henry and James, who are mentioned above as offsrping by the second wife. SP also assigns two other children to this couple: Alexander and Elizabeth.[6]

William Douglas was granted a disposition by Bishop Wardlaw of St Andrews to marry Elizabeth Lindsay but no record of that marriage taking place so Christian Lindsay may have been a substitute. Who is Marjorie Lindsay given as wife to Sir William? Cannot find a contemporary source for that name
