  General Notes:

"Captain Robert (Urquhart) left a son, Captain Duncan, who was served heir to him in 1741, but, dying in 1742 without issue, was succeeded by his brother Charles, he himself never having made up a title to the estates."

from History of the Family of Urquhart

Note:

In Scotland, 'making up title' is the formal process of registering ownership of property after the death of the previous owner, that is to say that the deceased persons name remains on the title deeds (Land Register), but the heir has a right to that property.


Robert married Marie FORBES, daughter of Duncan FORBES MP, 3rd of Culloden and Mary INNES, on 4 June 1698 in Forres parish, Moray, Scotland.1 (Marie FORBES was born about 1677.)
