  • Notes 
    • NOTE
      In many of the Histories she is also referred as Eleanor or Elene and also Ann. With all the histories she remains with the same Husbands and Children.

      Helen, daughter of 2nd Earl, identified as William's wife by both Burkes Peerage 1932 (Hamilton) and Burkes Peerage 1932 (Montrose) but The Scots Peerage shows Anne, dau of 4th Earl, as William's wife as does MacGregor's Landed Families of Perthshire.


      The Life Summary of Helen
      When Helen Douglas was born on 17 May 1425, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, her father, Sir William the Red Second Baron Of Drumlanrig, Second Earl Of Angus, was 25 and her mother, Margaret Hay, was 21.

      Notes
      Helen, dau of 2nd Earl, identified as William Graham's wife by both Burkes Peerage 1932 (Hamilton) and Burkes Peerage 1932 (Montrose) but The Scots Peerage shows Anne, dau of 4th Earl, as William's wife as does MacGregor's Landed Families of Perthshire.

      "William, the second Lord Graham, married Lady Ann Douglas, daughter of George, fourth Earl of Angus, "the Red Douglas" of James II.?us time, who in Scottish tradition is remembered as having "put down the Black. "Another account of the clan... Patricks only son[?], William, second Lord Graham, married lady Anne Douglas, eldest daughter of the fourth Earl of Angus, and had two sons, William, third Lord Graham, and George, ancestor of the Grahams of Calendar. [http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/dtog/graham2.html]"

      [This is disputed by Stirnet Graham02 using as its sources both The Scots Peerage and Burkes Peerage 1934 who say he married Helen Douglas daughter of the 2nd Earl of Angus]
