Other Countries / Re: Captain Hugh Duncan d.1897 Rosario Sante Fe Argentina
« on: Friday 27 July 18 17:57 BST (UK)  »
Just come back from Liverpool and had a bit of time to take picture of Ellen Duncan's gravestone on which there is a memorial to Hugh Duncan, who died in Rosario 1897. My theory is that he went from taking ships across to New York to possibly taking passengers (and hopefully not slaves) to Argentina.The Alec Douglas Duncan, (on the same gravestone) who died aged 5 was my mother's brother. He died of diptheria.
My mother mentioned the connection to Dunoon often. But as she was an excellent raconteur who embroidered things a bit it was hard to tell what was what.

This is amazing! After so long. My mother was always so certain of the Scottish connection. Could you tell me more? I have had family. Problems and fun from all over the world, so have been too busy to follow up until now.

Do you have a family tree? Perhaps we could share? I am intrigued as to who all your relations were who talked about Dunoon?

We are so excited to discover where and when my great grandfather died. His grand-daughter, my mother, always swore she was born in Dunoon, but this was obviously false. I think she may have got this confused, but there is certainly a link to Dunoon somewhere as she was adamant about it. She was a great narrator, but often got carried away so that the details could be suspect.

I will look up any other details I have and post thenm here.
