Andrew married Margaret SKENE, daughter of James SKENE 12th of that Ilk and Johanna DOUGLAS. (Margaret SKENE was born about 1574.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Andrew, baptised 24th September, 1565, and married to Margaret Skene, a daughter of James Skene of Bandodell"

from Aldermen and Provosts

Note:

According to the Memorials of the Family of Skene of Skene, Margaret may have married Andrew Cullen, but Munro's account of her parentage was erroneous. She was a daughter of a much later James Skene, great-nephew of the one mentioned by Munro.

"Margaret Skene. There is, on 25th May, 1590, Renunciation by Elizabeth Lumsden, spouse of Alexander Cullen, Burgess of Aberdeen, in favor of Margaret Skene, dochter lawful to James Skene of Badindodill, future spouse to Andrew Cullen, sone eldest to the said Alexander Cullen and Elizabeth Lumsden, of the town and land of Cottoun. Either this marriage did not take place, or she became soon a widow, for we find her, in 1600, wife of William Forbes of Pittalochie, and she was soon again a widow, for there is, in 1620, an action of Removing against Margaret Skene, relict of William Forbes of Pittalochie, from the lands of Kinaldie."
