John Ferguson Duncan – b1828, Campbeltown - emigration

[stuart.d]

June, I have Charles and John Duncans in my extended family tree.

Charles (B 1800 in Kintyre, D 1876 Clyde Bank Cottage, Renfrew) is shown on the 1851 census as being the Superintendant Carpenter of Clyde Trustees Works.  He had a son Charles (b c1837 in Glasgow, according to 1841 and 1851 censuses.  I have no other information on him as he not in my direct line.

Charles (b 1800) also according to 1841 census also had a 7 mth old son named John. He is not listed on 1851 census. John married Mary Pride in 1865 in Renfrew.

More details on this family can be found on my Blog at http://campbeltownduncans.blogspot.com/2015/05/charles-duncan-1800-1876.html

As Skoosh has indicated you could put a query on  the Kintyre form website, but I have had no luck there.  My information has been obtained through the Scotlandspeople website
regards
Stuart

Thank you I will study your information further this evening.
