For those of you who are descendants of this couple I recommend you look at the October 1999 issue of The American Genealogist (TAG) for an article by Leslie Mahler about Anne's ancestry in England (mentioned July 15 1999 in this forum). Unfortunately Mr Mahler does not solve the question of where (or when) William Douglas was born but he gives a credible list of the children and where they were born. This is a must read article for any of William and Anne's descendants. It's well written and sourced and should be quite available.
On the subject of Anne's name, her father's will, dated April 6 1612 at Ringstead next Thrapston, gives three different spellings for their surname, Motley, Motly, and Matlat. Anne(or possibly a) is called Matlat. Witnesses were Anthony Goode, Simon Tootull(Tuthill) and Thomas Robinson.
