| The Perthshire Heritage site reports that a Janet of this generation married (mcrt 16.10.1504) William Livingston (d Flodden 09.1513, son of William of Kilsyth). However, TSP (Kilsyth) refers to confusion about the spouses of the different generations of Williams and identifies the William who married Janet Bruce as son of the William who died at Flodden and identifies her father as Sir Robert (of Airth). Accordingly, we place Janet a generation later (see just above). | |||||||||||||||
