Families covered: Lauder of Haltoun (Halton)

                               
Haltoun was often pronounced "Hatton" and so is sometimes spelled like that. However, 'Haltoun' is viewed as its proper spelling.
Sir George de Lawedre or Lauder of Haltoun, Provost of Edinburgh (d c1430)
m. (before 1400) Helen Douglas (dau of Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas)
Young's 'Notes' omitted Sir George and showed uncertainty on the Alexanders & Williams & their spouses of this and succeeding generations. Different sources (including cross-references from 'The Scots Peerage') sometimes contradict each other. It seems likely that the works by GLF and AMF will become the accepted sources of information on this family.
