Marriage date to Lady Jean Ross recorded as 1350 - Dingwall, , Ross and Cromarty, Scotland.

This page also shows a relationship with Grace Forester during the time of his marriage to Jean, thought it doesn't say that the two were married. It does say that he fathered two sons with her, Thomas Munro and John Munro.
