Scotland the grey

[Leo van de Pas]

Does anyone have information of the Sinclair of Stirkoke family?

I have found a Marjory Sinclair (3rd wife of Donald Mackay, 1st Lord Reay) as daughter of Francis Sinclair of Stirkoke.
This is all the Scottish Peerage gives.

The Complete Peerage Volume X page 754 makes her the 4th wife of Lord Reay and, again, only a daughter of Francis Sinclair of Stirkoke, again no mother.

I did find in Burke's Peerage 1938 page 2253
Francis Sinclair, of Stirkoke who married Anne Sinclair, daughter of Patrick Sinclair of Ulbster and Elizabeth Mackay.

Does anyone have any information on the Sinclair of Stirkoke family?

With many thanks

Francis Sinclair of Stirkoke was the illegitimate son of George
Sinclair 5th Earl of Caithness (ca 1565-1643). He must have been born
when the earl was quite young, perhaps even in his teens. Stirkoke's
daughter Marjory was married to Donald Mackay Lord Reay as his third
wife, so probably about 1640. Lord Reay died in 1649. (Scots Peerage)
