William next married Unknown PARTNER(S). (Unknown PARTNER(S) was born about 1570.)

  Marriage Notes:

On the Cheyne Family website, Marie and Marjorie are shown in fact as children of a third wife or partner. The source used on the Cheyne website for this scenario is Lieut. Colonel Archibald Ythan Cheyne's The Cheyne Family in Scotland, which has not been consulted as yet by this researcher.

The suggestions noted for their birth dates on the Cheyne website are 1580 for Marie and 1600 for Marjorie, displaying the notable differential in their ages. There could, therefore, be two, rather than one, 'unknown partner(s)'. Or, there may be another scenario altogether that is undocumented and being missed. ^{2 4}
