Robert,

Dervorguilla, a daughter of Alan of Galloway, is mentioned in the book "The hereditary sheriffs of Galloway". One entry can be found on page 85 (last paragraph).

Info about her father, Alan of Galloway, and her grandfather, Roland of Galloway, can be found on pages 65-80 in the same book.

You can download a scanned copy of the book here: http://www.archive.org/search.php?qu...-%20History%22

The book is divided into 2 volumes, so you may want to download both files. The info I mentioned can be found in volume 1.

It appears we have some of the same ancestors.

Cousin Robert,

Here is a little more information you may find interesting.

Roland of Galloway was also known as Roland MacUchtraigh, Lochlann MacUchtraigh and Lochlann of Galloway.

Thomas of Galloway (Roland's brother) was also know as Thomas MacUchtraigh.

Robert,

I don't know if this would help with what you need but here is an interesting story about Lady Devorgilla on the Undiscovered Scotland website (Lady Devorgilla of Galloway has her own feature page) . Hope you enjoy!

Roland of Galloway was also known as Roland MacUchtraigh, Lochlann MacUchtraigh and Lochlann of Galloway.

Thomas of Galloway (Roland's brother) was also know as Thomas MacUchtraigh.

One source that identifies Roland and Thomas by their last name, MacUchtraigh, (instead of title) is "The Annals of Loch Ce" (A chronicle of Irish affairs from A.D. 1014 to A.D. 1590) dated 1871.

A scanned version of this book can be downloaded free at: http://books.google.com/books?q=edit...d=dx_vAAAAMAAJ
There are two volumes to this book, so be sure to download both files. The index for both volumes is in the second volume.

Roland is only mentioned once, but there are 4 different entries listing some of the exploits of Thomas in Ireland.
