child:
[Ref: CP I p80(b), Richardson RoyalAnc v1p663, SP I p152, SP I p153]
Sources with Inaccurate marriage information
note:
dates 2 March and 15 November sometimes seen are erroneous, as is Bishop Dowden's date of 9 Mar 1476/7 [Ref: MacEwen 7Countesses Caithness p90(27)]
Research Notes:
not a child of Elizabeth Douglas; had she been, the relationship between her and Alexander would have been the third and third of consanguinity. The actual relationship (4th and 4th) must have been through Catherine's father, whose mother, Egidia Douglas, was a granddaughter of Robert II [Ref: MacEwen Sinclair p52]

2 Mar 1477/8: marriage dissolved due to consanguinity [Ref: MacEwen Sinclair p52, SP II p334]

free (as Bishop Dowden notes) "to contract fresh unions in Domino"; it is not unlikely that she married again [Ref: MacEwen Sinclair p52]

3 Dec 1498: joined with her six brothers and six sisters in granting a charter "to their dearest brother, Sir David Sinclair, Knight and fowd of Zetland" of their lands "lying in the lordship of Zetland, belonging to them by reason of the death of their father." [Ref: MacEwen Sinclair p52]
