Our DUNCAN Family Tree

George Arthur Duncan (1847 - 1924)

The gentleman seated centrally in the family group photo (the author's great-great-grandfather) was born 13 May 1847, baptised and named George Arthur Duncan before two witnesses - Alexander Milne and John Robertson.

The expandable sections provided below outline his siblings, descendants and ancestors as best understood at this time of writing and indeed perhaps goes part way to understanding what has become something a family joke -

"a cousin of my fathers..."

- as invariably my mum would turn to dad after bumping into someone whilst walking along the streets in Buchanhaven or Peterhead, asking the question "who was that"? The response more often than not "oh, a cousin of my fathers".

Notes

  1. George was the informant on death certificate of his brother Alexander in 1878

  2. George and Jane celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary in 1920 as reported by an article in the Aberdeen Journal on Monday 26 July 1920. Sadly Jane passed away shortly after this, but together they left a rich legacy, 10 children and 35 grandchildren.
