Sorry cannot help with that one. I have seen the census and also the 1881 where he is with wife Jane and he is a Police Sergeant. George certainly is not with his widowed mother and siblings on the 1861.Ok just found in the Archives the retirement of George DUNCAN Cant. Go the The National Archives and put George Cant Police in their search and up it comes. The only George Cant that comes up on the Scottish census as born in Inverness is the Policeman living in Paddington on the 1881, I would say there is a strong chance this is the right boy. George Duncan died in 1888 and his death record states he was born 1825 so too old for ours.

That's great Larkspur  :) Just thinking of Tessa and her hunt for g grandmother's birth. In the 1901, Annie Cant (Gordon) showed as born in London so I wondered if mother Annie was perhaps sent down to England (perhaps London?) to have the baby if her brother was already there... He certainly would appear to be in London by at least the 1871 census, he shows as a police sergeant in Marylebone.

Hi, I've come across this debate rather late too, but just thought I'd mention, as an addition to the excellent information on  Gordon's Mill, that I have photographs of this building and would be happy to provide copies by email.
