He married (1) on 14 Feb 1778 in Forfar, Angus, Scotland Margaret (Smith) Doig, born abt 1757 Of Rescobie, Angus, Scotland; (2) on 23 Nov 1805 in Forfar, Angus, Scotland Elizabeth (Milne) Doig, born abt 1761 Of Forfar, Angus, Scotland.
Notes for Thomas Doig
[He may be the Thomas christened 30 Jan 1745 at Aberlemno, son of Andrew Doig, burgess of Brechin, and May Anderson; or born in Easter Balloch and christened 23 Feb 1749 in Kirriemuir, son of Robert Doig; or christened 5 Apr 1750 in Liff, son of James Doig; or christened 12 Aug 1753 in Dundee, son of James Doeig and Ann Alloa. It has also been suggested that he was the son of brewer in Glamis James Doig (1723-1778), but he is not mentioned in James' will.]
Thomas was a workman in Forfar Burgh and later a brewer.
[It is curious that Thomas and Margaret with 10 offspring had no children named after them. It is possible that Thomas had been previously married and already used these names. The late marriage to Elizabeth Milne is based on approx. age, location, occupation, timing, and Elizabeth' first husband Alexander Smith may have been a brother to Thomas' first wife Margaret Smith.]

MARRIAGE to Elizabeth Milne: Both were listed from Forfar, Thomas a laborer and Elizabeth the relict of Alexander Smith, shoemaker.

Notes for James Doig
The IGI shows James born 2 Aug 1786 and christened 6 Aug 1786 in Forfar, but in the original OPR he appears to have been born and christened on 2 Aug 1786 in Forfar. The following link is based on the family Bible of John Doig and Hamilton Johnson recording his father as James Doig born 30 July 1786 in Glamis. Glamis is the neighboring parish to Forfar, and the timing is close, as the christening record is done after the birth. Also there are no other possible recorded parents for this James, although his birth may be unrecorded or lost.
James sired two illegitimate children by Jean (Jane) Ramsay. There is probably an interesting love story here as they had the children about ten years apart, the city boy from Forfar and the country girl, a farm outworker in Glamis. James may have left the area and returned after an absence of 10 years, perhaps to leave again. In about 1818 James was a mercantile clerk in Forfar.
Notes for Jean Ramsay
Although not certain, Jean was christened 10 Dec 1790 in Glamis, the lawful daughter of William Ramsay. Another recorded christening for a Jean Ramsay was 10 July 1784 in Glamis, the daughter of John Ramsay.

He married Elizabeth (Lundie) Doig, born 1785/91 in Angus, Scotland; died 1841/51 in Scotland.
Notes for Alexander Doig
The following link to Betsy Lundie is uncertain and based on approximate age, location, and a child named David, as were his oldest brother and grandfather. Since son David appears in the 1841 census on his own as an agricultural laborer, it is possible that either his parents were not married or they died young.
In 1841 Elisabeth lived at Westmuir, Kirriemuir, with Ann, and Alexander was not with her. In 1851 Alexander was a 'widower' and agricultural laborer living at the Landward Part of Westmuir with his daughter Ann and her illegitimate daughter, Jean Aird.

Has been twelve times in hospital since 1831, and I am of opinion that he will not be permanently benefited by medical treatments. Disability caused by the service, and conduct whilst in hospital has been orderly. R Smith, Asst. Surgeon, 46th Regiment.'

Notes for John Doig
The Glamis parish record coded John's christening with an 'N' indicating 'natural' or illegitimate.
The link to illegitimate daughter Isabella is based on age, location, and having left Scotland for England about the time of her birth. Isabella reported her father as John Doig, ploughman, deceased by her wedding in 1860.
In 1846 and 1851 John was a baker at 68 Fetter Lane, Holborn, London. In 1851 all the children were at home plus a Kate M'Honey, a widow, born 1832/3 in Ireland, and William Fraser, a lodger, born 1839/40 in London.

In 1871 John lived at 74 Red Lion, Holborn, London with his wife Hamilton and children Jean, Ann, Abraham, and lodgers. By 1874 John was a baker at 74 Red Lion Street, Holborn.
An article by J. R. Curry in The Baker's Record of 30 July 1931 entitled 'Baker and Miller A Hundred Years Ago,' reports: 'John Doig was a master baker who traded in Fetter-Lane. He came to London from Glamis, Forfarshire, the place of his birth, and took a situation as a Scotch forehand. In a few years he was able to start in business for himself in Fetter-Lane, becoming a near neighbour of W. Dwarber. Like Mr. Dwarber he became a freeman of the city. I have not the minutes of the Protection Society to find out if he had a hand with friend Dwarber in the founding of the society, which was undoubtedly planned in Fetter-Lane, and the first meeting arranged for."
John's wife Hamilton was executrix named in his will (P.R. 791).
