CRICHTON, Margaret 1User ID: C172. Margaret married Alexander HOME of Polwarth, son of Patrick HOME of Polwarth and Margaret SINCLAIR co-heiress of Polwart and Kimmerghame, before 3 May 1503.1 (Alexander HOME of Polwarth was born about 1473 and died in 1532.) Marriage Notes: "He (Alexander Home) married, first, previous to 3 May 1503, Margaret, said to have been a daughter of Lord Crichtoun of Sanquhar, who was alive in 1518. Secondly, Margaret, 'Lady of Wauchtone,' daughter of Sir Robert Lauder of the Bass. As she, however, was within the third degree of consanguinity, a dispensation was obtained for the marriage on 23 January 1520-21. She survived her husband, and was one of his executors. He also married, probably at an early date, Elizabeth Wardlaw, but the marriage was annulled by a decree of divorce extracted 8 October 1526, though it may have been pronounced many years previous. In the decree he is designed 'son and apparent heir' of Patrick Hume of Polwarth, and the marriage is declared 'ab initio fuisse et esse nulla et invalida.' By his first wife he had issue." |
