 The death certificate confirms my hunch that he was indeed the brother of Jane Wood.
What about finding any other George Duncans in the 1871 census. Was Jessie buried in Lambert & did her grave have a headstone? I think the school admission rolls may be the best line of enquiry.

i cannot find jessie headstone nothing in larbert  looked a few years ago. everything  i do seems eo come to a dead end if you know what i mean. i wonder if the elexander reid and ann sim woodside moray  is s worth looking at.

[ann60]

just thinking why was george duncan  born in melldrum father arther  why was he always on census by himself and not with his wife and family,

No idea, but what about my suggestion of looking at the school admission rolls for your  grandad's records?

While you're in Old Aberdeen remember to check the poor relief index for any sign of applications for the upkeep of your grandfather. The parishes his parents belonged to would be liable to look after him.
