   User ID: W80.

William married Christian LINDSAY, daughter of Alexander LINDSAY 2nd Earl of Crawford and Marjory.¹ (Christian LINDSAY was born about 1394 and died after 1465 ⁴.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Earl David (Lindsay) is said to have had daughters : Marjory, married to Sir William Douglas of Lochleven. Elizabeth, said to have been married to Sir Robert Keith, Marischal of Scotland, but probably to Robert (Erskine), Earl of Mar." (see Note below)

from Scots Peerage (vol 3)




"Sir William Douglas of Lochleven succeeded his father, to whom he was served heir 20 December 1409, and acquired the lands of Ralstoun on the resignation of these in his favour by Sir Walter Stewart, son of Sir John Stewart of Ralstoun, and brother of Sir William's mother, Margery Stewart, in 1416. These lands he settled on his younger son James. It was probably he, and not, as Sir William Fraser suggests, a hitherto unknown son of the same name who accompanied the Earls of Buchan and Wigtown to France, where he in all likelihood was killed in the battles of Beauge or Fresnay le Comte in 1421. He apparently married Elizabeth Lindsay, as appears from, with other evidence, a dispensation by Henry, Bishop of St. Andrews, for the marriage of William Douglas of St. Andrews diocese, and Elizabeth Lindsay of Brechin diocese, they being in the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity. He had issue"

from Scots Peerage (vol 6)




The young Laird (David Wemyss) of Wemyss, however, died at an early age, before September 1430. He married, between 1 and 4 February 1423-24, a lady named Christian Douglas, who is described as the widow of the late Sir William Douglas. Sir William Fraser suggests her first husband was a son of the Laird of Lochleven, but he had a dispensation to marry an Elizabeth Lindsay.

from Scots Peerage (vol 8)

Note:

There is, clearly some disagreement in the volumes of Scots Peerage about the given names of the Lindsay daughters and who were their respective spouses. This may have been confused by the fact that Marjory/Margery was the name of the mother of Sir William Douglas, and Elizabeth the name of spouse's mother. But there is also further research continuing. See the Research Notes for Christian Lindsay (ID: M915). ^{1 3 4}
