• Notes

  Great grandfather to Vicki Morris, Queensland One family record shows that George Douglas, second Earl of Dumbarton had a son who took the name Barrack from Rannoch Barracks, in Perthshire, and subsequently married a Barbara Watt and lived near Ellon, in Aberdeenshire. They had a son Alexander Scarlett Barrack, who was born in Ellon in Aberdeenshire. Alexander went to Australia and captained ships in the South Pacific for 35 years , and later settled in Fiji. This link sounds interesting, but doesn't seem to fit with the Barrack family history that is available from the Aberdeen & N,E. Scotland History Society. A copy of his reminiscences (1851-1881) is held by the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, New Zealand.
