Hello all,
This is my first post on this forum.
I believe I am an Australian descendant of Robert Duncan and Janet Dunlop (who married on 24 October 1793 in Campbeltown) through their youngest child Dunlop Duncan (b. 1796 or 1807-9, d.1882) of seven children.
Dunlop married Jean Ferguson in Glasgow on the 26 June 1825. They had two sons Robert Ferguson (1826/7) and John Ferguson (1826). Dunlop married Elizabeth Grant on 21 December 1830 and according to numerous cencus records lived in Back St, Campbeltown, all their married life.
I believe John Ferguson, plus two of Dunlop & Elizabeth's seven children (James Grant and Lewis Grant), emigrated to Australia.
I am a descendant of a John Ferguson Duncan, but there are differences between Australian and Scottish records (ie. year of birth (1834 against 1828 ) & father's occupation (brewer against painter)), so my uncertainty as to whether I am a descendant of Robert & Janet Duncan.
My published research is at http://campbeltownduncans.blogspot.com.au/, a blog which I have only recently started.
I (and other researchers of Dunlop Duncan's descendants) have found no further information on Robert & Janet Duncan and I cannot find any info on Jean Ferguson. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
