hi
thanks all who helped.
i was wondering how to go about finding out if william duncan was anyway related to any of them
i phoned falkirk archives months ago to see the woods got any money for william from larbert but they have nothing on record. i do not know what avenue to go down now.
-
forgot to say william duncan was born in larbert i have birth cert.
-
jessie was 26 when she had william she died 1878 in larbert stirlingshire
i do not know how old george was it says in william birth cert that they were marriedr in london mother ann sim father james reid never been able to prove any of this . i am trying once more and then i will have to this family to rest as i have been trying for years.

Hi, the Woods are my ancestors. It may be coincidence but one of John & Mary's sons, William Wood married a Jane Duncan in 1872, who was the daughter of Arthur & Jane (nee Duguid) Duncan. One of the witnesses on the certificate was a George Duncan. Jane did have a brother George, who was born c1842 in Meldrum. I found them in the 1851 census. In 1881 George was living in Aberdour parish. Do n't know if he's your great grandfather but could be? William Duncan could be a nephew of John & Mary's daughter in law which may explain why he's shown as a boarder & not a direct relative.

thank you for info going to follow up george duncan has anyone any tips to try and work out if it is the right george
thanks :D

Try & find George in the 1871 census. You know his occupation (in 1878 anyway),you'll also see his place of birth. The George Duncan in 1881 census was a salmon fisher & shoemaker.George may have remarried by 1881,if not he'll show up in the census as a widower. If you do find a likely married man, check out his marriage certificate as it will state if he was a widower.Likewise a death certificate will list his first wife as well as any others. Also, have you checked out the school admission rolls? When William started school his address & name of guardian or parent will have been entered as well as his date of birth.Did you find him in the 1891 census? If he left the area, the name of his next school will be mentioned. It's a good way of tracing families between censuses!.Just noticed that your Grandfather's place of birth was recorded in 1881 census as Aberdour?

hi
i am going to try scotlands people tonight for george duncan . my grandfather birth cert. i have got it he was born in larbert so i know that is right . a few years ago i wrote to the aberdour school to ask them about the school records and they wrote back saying the had not any for that far back
-
i looked up 1881 census for george and he was living himself cannot find him in the 1861 or 1771 census.
-
i have found george duncan on the 1861 and 1871 1881 1891 and nothing after that
-
Can you tell us more about the censuses? Where was he? Was he still single? etc. the more info you post the easier it'll be for others to help!
-
You need to contact Old Aberdeen House regarding archives for schools. Please click on this link.You can make an appointment & spend some time there poring over the records.I've been a few times & thoroughly enjoyed it. They allow you to take photos of the books (saves a lot of writing).

i went onto scotland people and found george duncan death cert. he died in 1893 he was married to a margaret robertson in 1865 in cookney she died in 1888 aged 46. i am very disappointed
-
Which George Duncan's death certificate have you got? Is it the one who was living by himself in 1881? Please give us some more details to enable us to help you.
flst
-
george was living himself in 1881 in aberdour occ salmon fisherman shoemaker
the in 1891 at cookney occ salmon fisherman.
on his death cert. it says mother jane duncan maiden name duguid father arthur duncan
-
The death certificate confirms my hunch that he was indeed the brother of Jane Wood.
What about finding any other George Duncans in the 1871 census. Was Jessie buried in Lambert & did her grave have a headstone? I think the school admission rolls may be the best line of enquiry.
flst
-
i cannot find jessie headstone nothing in larbert looked a few years ago. everything i do seems eo come to a dead end if you know what i mean. i wonder if the elexander reid and ann sim woodside moray is s worth looking at.
-
just thinking why was george duncan born in melldrum father arther why was he always on census by himself and not with his wife and family,
-
No idea, but what about my suggestion of looking at the school admission rolls for your grandad's records?
flst
-
i phoned old aberdeen today and going down soon the have old parish records for glasslaw school i will have to keep my fingers crossed
-
Fingers crossed that you'll find some information on your grandad!
flst
-
thanks will keep you up to date if that is ok with you
-
maiden name as sim and nothing no matches came up when i took her maiden name out it came up with one match and that was my g grandmother would the name my g grandfather gave be wrong or would her father have married again
-
While you're in Old Aberdeen remember to check the poor relief index for any sign of applications for the upkeep of your grandfather. The parishes his parents belonged to would be liable to look after him.
flst
-
i have poor relief for him and his family much later in life .i did phone falkirk and the records for larbert did not go back to 1878 or were not kept
-
Hi everyone who is reading this
re william duncan
went to old aberdeen this week to check him out on school records they do not go back as far as 1981 nothing on poor relief so far round about that date.
I am going down the line to try and find out more on a george duncan living in aberdour aberdeenshire in 1881 a salt salmon fisherman and shoemaker
his sister married jane duncan married william wood it was his mother and father that willaim duncan as boarded out with
if anyone has him in there tree can they let me know
he was born around 1843
-
