General Notes:
"Alexander Irvine of Drum survived his son, and in 1552 resigned the whole of his lands into the hands of the Queen, Mary, who granted a new charter in 1553 to his grandson and heir. As there is no further notice of him, it is probable that this Alexander Irvine of Drum died soon after the resignation of the lands to his grandson, which appears to have taken place on the marriage of the latter to the daughter of the Earl Marischal in 1552.
Besides his son who was killed at Pinkie, this Alexander Irvine of Drum had two daughters\emdash one married to the laird of Balbegno, and the other to Fraser of Muchalls, predecessor of Lord Fraser."

Marriage Notes:
"On the 10th September, 1499, Alexander Irvine of Drum granted a charter to his son, Alexander Irvine, and his wife, Janet Allardes, of the lands of Forglen, in the county of Banff."
"it would appear that when he married Janet Allardes she was an only child, and believed to be certain of the succession to the estate of Allardes, although only presumptive heiress. Her stepmother, a daughter of Lundy of that ilk, by her conduct with this Alexander Irvine of Drum, the husband of her step-daughter, afterwards gave rise to scandal ..."
from Irvines of Drum
" Janet, born circa 1460-70, living as late as 1536. Janet married (contract dated June 12, 1493) Alexander Irvine, 7th of Drum.[29] A 1499 charter of Alexander Irvine of Drum mentions Alexander, his son, and his spouse Janet Allardice. In 1536 'Joneta' Allardice, wife of Alexander Irvine of Drum, witnessed a grant to William Ruthven.[30] Alexander, who died circa 1553-1554, and Janet were ancestors of the Irvines of Drum."
