The next few posts are going to pick up on the ancestry of Margery (née Portal) Evan-Thomas. It's been almost a year since I wrote a post on lines of descent from James IV of Scotland, so this will be fun. In the previous post, a line of descent for Margery from James V, the only surviving legitimate child of James IV, was presented. The descent was through Margery's ancestor Elizabeth (née Drummond) Portal, who has seven other lines of descent from James IV, through three of his illegitimate daughters.

ELIZABETH DRUMMOND, b. 31 Jan. 1788 Westminster, bap. 28 Feb. 1788 St James Church, Westminster; d. 21 May 1877 Knightsbridge, London, bur. 26 May 1877 St Mary Church, Laverstoke, Hampshire, only dau. of Henry Drummond, Heir of The Grange (1762-1794, descended from Henry VII - see Generation A9 below) and Hon. Anne Dundas (1767-1852, descended from James IV - see Generation C10 below); m. 1 Aug. 1815 St Swithin Church, Walcot, Bath, Somersetshire, as his 2nd wife, JOHN PORTAL of Laverstoke House, b. 29 Apr. 1764, bap. 9 Oct. 1764 All Saints Church, Whitchurch, Hampshire; d. 7 May 1848 Freefolk House, Freefolk Priors, Hampshire, bur.
