  Marriage Notes:

Sir William Baillie led an apprising against Helen Shaw, relict of Sir Patrick Hume of Polwarth, and George Hume, first of the line of Hume of Arngaty, his son, whereby for the sum of 850 merks he comprises the ten-pound land of Redvach and Nichoquanny. A charter of Apprising followed upon this Decree on 12th February 1505. Patrick Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, obtained a charter of Apprising of the lands of Hoprig, pertaining to this Sir William Baillie, on 2d October 1507."

from Lives of the Baillies




"By his (Patrick Hume's) second wife he had : - [....]

5. Janet, married, before 6 November 1501, to Sir Andrew
Ker of Ferniehirst.

6. Marion, married to Sir William Baillie of Lamington."

from Scots Peerage (vol 6)


Note:

The dates are problematic here

Scots Peerage, volume 6, puts the marriage of Patrick Hume and Ellen Shaw before 24 March 1490, citing " ⁹ Acta Dom. Conc., 193.":

"He married, first, as above stated, Margaret Sinclair; and secondly, previous to 24 March 1490, ⁹ Ellen, daughter of Sir James Shaw of Sauchie"

Depending of how much earlier than 1490 the marriage was, it is somewhat difficult to see how Sir William Baillie could have a Crown Charter of Resignation for himself and his wife on 2 January 1493, if that were true.

The surrounding dates suggest Marion was a daughter of the first wife, or that the marriage to Ellen Shaw was a considerable time before 1490. ^{1 2}
