| William Wood of Bonnytoun | |||||||||||||||
| It appears that EITHER William married 3 times OR there were 2 generations of Williamses. The latter is certainly possible but, provisionally, we show just one because, with the possible exception of the matter involving Elizabeth (mentioned below), the dates seem to support that view. However, we are not sure about the order of his marriages. Noting that at least 1 daughter (Margaret) married about 1539, we presume that all the children were by Elizabeth/Margaret Ogilvy but it is certainly possible that there the following is over-presumptive on this, particularly as the names of Margaret's father (at least) is not confirmed by the sources on the husband's families. It is certainly arguable that we should show this section as DRAFT rather than in the main part of the database but we are not confident that we will be able to improve it. | |||||||||||||||

| m. Alexander Guthrie (d 10.1587) | |||||||||||||||
| 4. | Elizabeth Wood possibly of this generation | ||||||||||||||
| m1. George Ramsay (d 1580) | |||||||||||||||
| The father of the Elizabeth who married George Ramsay is not named in the Ramsay source but the wife of the following George Barclay is identified in the Barclay source as "sister of Patrick Wood of Bonnington (whose son James Wood was beheaded at Edinburgh, 27 April 1601)" which makes it not unlikely that she was of this generation. However, as reported at the connection, the marriage contract date given for that marriage (11.01.1564-5) looks wrong. If it should have been 01.1584-5 then it is certainly not impossible that Elizabeth married George Barclay after the death of George Ramsay, although she would have quite old to have had at least 3 children by ... | |||||||||||||||
