Only 2 entries on the MRI for an N Duffus

Norman Duffus Royal Engineers and Norman W Duffus Gordon Highlanders.  Neither entry matches any of the numbers you give

Was after 1932+ so it can't be a WW1 one. I have tried the WW1 records but with it being a Scottish record I can't look any further on Ancestry's info.

Hi

Do you have Duffus ancestry?  If not - why do you think there could be a connection to you
