Alison married Robert LAUDER younger, of that Ilk, son of Robert LAUDER elder, of that Ilk and Marione HOPPRINGLE 'of Smailholm'.^{1 2} (Robert LAUDER younger, of that Ilk was born about 1479 and died in July 1567.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Robert Lauder of that Ilk, &c.(2) (d. July 1567) Burke's Peerage 1847 and 1878 editions, Notes on Historical references to the Scottish Family of Lauder (edited by James Young, Glasgow 1884) and The Grange of St. Giles (by J. Stewart-Smith, Edinburgh, 1899) all incorrectly state that this fellow is Robert Lauder of The Bass and that he died in 1561, but cite no evidence. The Bass family are well recorded, and Robert Lauder of The Bass is exceptionally well-documented and died in June 1576 (Refer his Testament in the Edinburgh Commissariot) having lived a long life (his father died early in 1519). His two wives and children are also well-recorded. These publications, which probably copied from each other, are wrong and confused. In fact, many mentions of this entire family are confused.

This Robert Lauder of that Ilk (2) is also mentioned in copious official records.

Robert Lauder of that Ilk married Alison, daughter of Sir William Cranstoun of that Ilk, Smailholm, &c., by his wife Margaret Home, ancestor of the Lords Cranstoun."
