In Christina's mother's profile sources, neither Balfour Paul (Vols. 3 & 8) nor Bruce Seton hazard an estimate of Margaret Seton Wyntown's d.o.b. The sources for Christina lack credibility and are not even accessible from the profile. What is known and credibly sourced, however, is that Christina's first husband, George Dunbar, "was probably just of age in 1363 when half of the feudal baronies of Tibbers and Morton were resigned to him" [Bains, J. (Ed.). (1888). Calendar of Documents relating to Scotland (Vol. IV, p. xxiii)]. According to this source, George would have been born around 1342. It is possible that a birthdate for Christina between 1335 -1342 is correct (and her mother's is not, as in 1342, she would have had to give birth at age 12). It is just as likely that Christina could have been born after 1346 when her mother was at a tender age of 16. In other words, with the given info, it is impossible to know.

Many of the dates in this time period are only estimates, best guesses, as there are few records that supply us with birth dates or ages at a particular point in time. Chritina's birth is probably later than estimated, as is her husband's. We'll adjust as we work down from her parents.
