In the 1851, Duncan is 59, and census day was 30 March 1851. Therefore, if his age is accurate, he was born between 30 March 1791 and 29 March 1792. Duncan Macarthur, son of Charles McArthur and Marjory McIntosh, is an exact match.
Jane/Jean McArthur or Gowans' death certificate gives her parents as Charles McArthur and May McIntosh. May is a very common variant of Marjory, so that's great work, Neale.
There seem to be rather a lot of M*cArthur/M*cIntosh couples having children baptised around that time. There's an Alexander M*cArthur and Jean/Jane/Janet M*cIntosh in Nairn, and a Donald M*cArthur and (another) Marjory M*cIntosh not all that far away in Duthil and Rothiemurchus (Aviemore area for those not familiar with the locations of parishes in this neck of the woods).
