John Richardson DUNCAN further information

[British Kiwi]

Hi

I've been going through my records and I requested a lookup here for his marriage. It was a transcript but there was no mention of parents. The second marriage is post registration, so maybe I should at some point order the certificate to confirm his parents details.

Annette7, I had another look taking into account what you found and I think you might be right about his baptism so thank you very much. I just wish that his first marriage would have a certificate as Mary Daniels is my ancestor. Is there any other way to see parents in connection with the marriages?

terrac I have the death notice from the Hull Packet (Hull Packet - Friday 12 February 1869, pg but I don't think I have the notice about the creditors. I do have the probate calendar though. I also have the articles about John Gravill and Thomas Duncan. I will PM you my email address.

I found the Hull Packet great, but the automatic transcription not great. I can't find any information in the papers about his separation. I have run out of my subscription, maybe I should offer to transcribe them all

Hi Melanie...Just out of interest...The Chairwoman... of the Carnegie Heritage Centre in Hull where I am a volunteer is a descendent of Capt. John Gravill...I believe she has a photo and also a book about him.

That is funny, I have recently (as in the last week) made contact with her, long lost cousins

The more I read about Captain Gravill (snr), the more I like him. I was at Hull Uni and I wish I had visited the area he lived. I have been to the Hull Maritime museum and have seen his grave, but would be good to walk down his street.

Hi
So we are cousins  nice to meet you. I have only ever made contact on the gravill side of the family.

Hullo British Kiwi
,
Good to meet you too.

My great grandfather, William Easton Duncan was a partner in Good Flodman & Duncan, who were ship owners, forwarding agents and iron, coal and general agents with an office in the Hesslegate Building, Humber Dock St, Hull.

I live in Sydney Australia.

 In 2005 I visited England and saw the Hesslegate building in Hull and visited a street party at Coltman St Hull where W E Duncan and family had lived at number 35. Their house has been replaced due to bomb damage during the Second World War.

You quote that “JR DUNCAN was a horrible person and emotionally and physically abused his second wife”. I am only thankful that my closer family members did not inherit these undesirable traits of character.

I got a lot of information about the Easton and Duncan families from an Easton living in Queensland Australia.

Cheers,
Barry.
