2. | John Douglas was born on 26 Jul 1800 in Yetholm, Roxburghshire (son of Thomas Douglas and Oliver Young); died in 1864 in Farr, Sutherland, Scotland. Notes:
Also listed as Dougless
Shepherd
John was nominally of the region of Clibrig (I believe near Farr) whilst Helen (Nelly) was of Tomich. The couple settled at Farr where they raised their children.
In the 1841 Census the family were living at Connafern (possibly read as Coirnafern) in the parish of Farr with my great great grandmother Isabella at age 17.
The 1861 Census shows the family as living at Altanloughard, Shepherd's House in the Kirkton/Farr area.
John Douglas died between 11th and 14th May, 1864 due to exhaustion and exposure after being found in the hills around Farr. The death was registered on the information of W.S. Fraser, the Procurator Fiscal.
John married Helen (Nelly) Douglas in 27 Apr 1820 or 1821 in Lairg, Sutherland, Scotland. Helen (daughter of George Douglas) was born about 1802 in Yetholm, Roxburghshire; died in 1864. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
