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.
