Yes Anne, those are the details I have found.

What has thrown me is Hugh as Duncan's father.

Thanks for the help guys.

Just looking at the info from Duncan and Rebecca's marriage cert, it shows Duncan as a labourer.

Since then I have found this potential lead from the 1851 Scotland Census...

Duncan McGregor, aged 18, labourer living with siblings Peter (b.1801), Agnes (b.1820), Daniel (b.1821) and Mary (b.1831), born in Larnarkshire

or another lead from the 1841 Scotland Census....

Duncan, aged 8, parents John (b.1791) and Jinn (possibly Jean b. 1794) but with different siblings.  However, this records shows Duncan as living in Barony Civil Parish.

Add these to the Duncan/Ann McEwan and Hugh McGregor, my head is a little mashed ??? :D

I couldn't find anything regarding Barnparish either.  I am just taking the info from the 1861 England census which shows himself and Rebecca living in Monkwearmouth Shore, Sunderland, Co Durham.

Thanks Anne.

Giving the info I already have would be helpful somewhat!

The majority of my tree is accurate upto and including Daniel McGregor (b.1867, d.1954) and married to Julia Hodgson (b.1868, d.1902).

My tree shows Daniel's parents as Duncan McGregor (b.1850, d.1928) and married to Rebecca Dennis (b abt.1840, d.1895).  However when I've delved a little deeper, this Duncan doesn't appear to be the right chap.  The correct one appears to be Duncan/Donkin McGregor (b.1834 in Barnparish, Scotland, d.1887).

The problem I have is with Duncan's parents.  So far the evidence suggests that Duncan's parents were Duncan (b.1800, d.1887) and Ann McEwan (b.1806, d.unknown), however the info from the marriage register shows a Hugh McGregor as his father.  This has me thinking have I found the correct details, the marriage details are correct or Daniel potentially lied?

As before, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Scotty

ps. mods, if this is in the wrong section please feel free to move, cheers!

Hi,

First post here after finding very useful info from this thread - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,90305.0.html.

The paper copy of my family tree starts with my 3x great grandfather Duncan who was married to Rebecca Dennis who had a child named Daniel who is my 2x GG.

Firstly, the chaps details I have are for the wrong person and after a little bit of searching, I found the correct details.  From there though is where I'm having difficulty.  I have found info to suggest Duncan's parents were Duncan McGregor and Ann McEwan, however the marriage details in the link show a Hugh McGregor.

Does anyone have any further information on Hugh?

Many thanks
Scotty
