PARTNER, Unnamed ¹

   User ID: Q717

Unnamed had a relationship with Robert LAUDER younger, of that Ilk, son of Robert LAUDER elder, of that Ilk and Marione HOPPRINGLE 'of Smailholm'. (Robert LAUDER younger, of that Ilk was born about 1479 and died in July 1567.)

  Marriage Notes:

" He (Sir Robert Lauder) married Alison Cranstoun of Cranstoun, and from deeds extant he must have had four sons - William, John, Robert and Alexander; but it is also very clear from the same source that John the second son was illegitimate, and not the son of Alison Cranstoun; for, on the 15th February 1531, James V. granted 'letters of legitimation to John Lauder, natural son of Robert Lauder of the Bass,' in order that he might eventually inherit a portion of his father's estate, which as a bastard he could not do.
