EDMONDSTONE, James of that Ilk, Sir
(About 1415-) |
EDMONDSTONE, James of that Ilk, Sir 3User ID: Y785. James married Isobel FORRESTER, daughter of Sir John FORRESTER of Corstorphine and Wife NAME NOT KNOWN.1 The marriage ended in annulled by 3 february 1456(7). (Isobel FORRESTER was born about 1420.) Marriage Notes: "Isabel (Forrester), married, as his first wife, to Sir James Edmonstone of that Ilk. The marriage was ultimately annulled, and she renounced her appeal against the sentence 3 February 1456-57." James next married Janet NAPIER, daughter of Sir Alexander NAPIER 2nd of Merchiston, Provost of Edinburgh and Unknown.2 (Janet NAPIER was born about 1435.) Marriage Notes: "Sir James (Edmonstone) married, first, Isabella, daughter of Sir John Forrester, ancestor of the Lords Forester of Corstorphine, by whom he had a son, John, who succeeded him ; and secondly, Janet, daughter of Sir Alexander Napier of Merchiston, ancestor of the Lord Napier, by whom he had two daughters: Elizabeth, married to Sir Patrick Blackadder, second son of Blackadder of that ilk ; and second, Margaret, married to Sir Walter, second son of Sir Walter Ogilvie of Auchleven, from which marriage descended the Ogilvies, Lords Bamff, extinct in the male line in 1803. The estates of Tyllyallan and of Boyne went out of the family by these marriages, which led to the erroneous notion, both in Crauford's and the Ednam pedigrees, that they were co-heiresses in default of male descent from their father. |
