Hi Ruth thank you for your help all that information consolidates what we found but were unsure off.
Your help along with all the other here on Rootschat has been tremendous and I can't thank you all enough.  I am waiting on a letter from a cousin of Isabella Haig Stevenson who still lives in Banff.  So I hopefully will know more.  I will let you all know what comes of thats.
Thank you once again
Teresa

WOW!!! Ruth some amazing work there !!
I don't think Bella and I can ever thank ANYONE of you enough for all the hours of work you have put in and the results that you have come up with. Or all the questions you have answered, some before they were even asked! Thank you !!!!

I know its a bit late but the exact wording of the birth cert reads

Isabella Haig Stevenson
Domestic servant
Usual residence; Wesley
cottage Gellymill, parish of Gamrie

John Duncan
Father
Blackhill,  Parish
of Banff

Thats the way its set out, I think the punctuation is correct for Isabella's as it could be a mark on the page . It is set well under the line.

Is it correct to think that at the time of the childs birth he  lived in that place but may not have come from there?

Yes. I think I tried to make that point several pages ago!

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped in finding my fathers’ father.  Earlier this year my father and I both did our DNA tests and we have found my fathers mystery family.  Trublue from here is actually a cousin and living here in Australia.    When we started this journey we couldn’t find any link, then whilst searching the internet we came across a picture of a little boy in Alvah that looked so much like my son and we started a Duncan family tree just in case, well that tree is actually our family tree with the DNA results.   Normally people do their DNA then try to find their roots, somehow we did it the other way around. 

Thanks once again guys, you were so helpful.

Hi just starting another search for my step grandfather John Alexander Mitchell born on the 6th of June 1922 believed to have been born in Banff, he died on the 13th of February 1986 in Warrnambool Australia.  I know his mother was called Janet Mitchell supposedly of Dufftown no known father listed.
any help would be great thanks.

Happy Hogmany 2020
