Captain Hugh Duncan b Abt 1833

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

The 1851 census transcriptson Ancestry  show a Hugh Duncan baker living at Duncan's Land Dunoon with a wife Elizabeth. Could this be part of the family?

Now that is a good find Gibel,
there must be some relationship there,a baker, Dunoon and surname

Thanks for this entry which I have as"a likely" , the issue being I cannot for the life of me tie in the Duncans in Dunoon to my Grt Grandfather - there are 2 Duncan's a father & son both operating as bakers at the right timeframe in Dunoon, but I have not found how Hugh the sea captain comes as a child to Liverpool.
Hugh b abt 1835  passed his Masters ticket exams in Liverpool in 1862.
The only entry for Hugh is on the 1841 Census in Liverpool age 8 which is pretty much all I can find until he marries in 1863 , again in Liverpool

As Radcliff states Hugh Duncan's  father is shown as a Baker on the 1863 m cert, still waiting for the 1871 m cert to arrive.
The 1863 m is to Ellen Curwen not Curwin as in my earlier post.

The only record on the English Census with a Hugh Duncan entry is on the 1871 when living at 49 Park Hill Road Toxteth Park, shows where Born as Liverpool.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Let me know if I can provide any other information.

Sorry to but in on this topic, but I have been wondering for ages what happened to Hugh Duncan. I knew about the Nancy Brysson but couldn't get any further than that. I am so pleased to hear that someone else has now found him. I have the death cert of his first wife Ellen Curwen but will have to do some serious searching for it. I do remember though, that she died just after having her second child and Hugh remarried very quickly after that.
Ann.

Kitch, Thanks for your comments, I have Hugh Duncan 1st & 2nd marriage details and those of his children's b in Liverpool.
Let me know if you require any details.
The link with Dunoon is on the back burner for now, or untill another forum member provides a lead.
I now plan to concentrate on tracing the ships he sailed on via the Liverpool Maritimer Museum and other maritime websites.

Thanks olduser1. I was wondering if you had his marrage details etc. I'd be very interested to hear how you get on with the Liverpool Maritime Museum. I did email them a few years ago but didn't get much help. I hope things have changed. It's good to know where he died though.
Thanks again.

I'll keep you updated on the progress with the shipping records - one of the films for Duncan is quite poor in quality, so I am due to visit the museum again.
