| 'The Book of Arnot' (p162) shows Andrew as m. Christian, dau/heir of Andrew Fernie of that ilk, but 'The Book of Arnot' (p60) shws her as wife of his nephew, John of Woodmylne (above).

'The Book of Arnot' shows Helen Richardson as mother of all the children but 'RedBookScot', which does not mention Elizabeth Wemyss but does provide various christening dates, shows Anne Bruce as mother of the later children.
