I understand that you are soliciting corrections. Here are a few.

Keith family: Sir William Keith (d. in or after 1407) married
"Margaret
Fraser, daughter and heir of John Fraser and Mary Stewart, sister of
Robert I." It should go without saying that the surname of Robert I's
sister was Bruce, not Stewart. Moreover, it was John Fraser's father
(Margaret's grandfather), Sir Alexander Fraser, who married Mary
Bruce.
Scots Peerage 2:434.It is true that at 6:36 Scots Peerage
inconsistently
says (via a carelessly placed close-parenthesis) that it was John
Fraser
who married her, but a glance at the chronology shows that that
cannot be.

The sketches of Robert St. Lawrence, 2d Baron Howth, and Nicholas
St. Lawrence, 3d Baron, both say that Nicholas was son of Robert by
his second wife, Joan Beaufort. This cannot be right; Robert and Joan
were married in 1478, and Nicholas was of full age and active in
politics
by 1486. Complete Peerage 6:605 is clearly right in saying that
Nicholas
was son of Robert's first wife, Alice White.

The Robert St. Lawrence sketch says that Robert's mother was Elizabeth
Bermingham of Athenry. According to Complete Peerage, she was Anne
Plunkett.

The sketch of Sir Thomas Ashton (c. 1403-c. 1460), the alchemist, says
that his daughter Dulcie married Sir Edmund Trafford, Ashton's partner
in alchemy. The received account is that Ashton's daughter Elizabeth
married Trafford's son Sir John Trafford. This appears to be right,
since
Trafford seems to have been born c. 1392 and is unlikely to have been
a decade older than his father-in-law.

The sketch of Sir John Ashton (d. 1327) says he died Sept. 3, 1427. Is
this a typhographical error? Roskell's History of Parliament says he
died Sept. 3, 1428.
