Duncan, Gardner, Martin of Bathgate

[aitchscot]

Looking for information on William Duncan who was married to Margaret Gardner. They had two sons that i know of.

James was born in Bathgate but the family originated in Lanarkshire James Duncan married a Janet Donaldson and in 1877- ? they lived at Accademy Row Bathgate. James Duncan was a coal miner and died @ 1913 in Bathgate.

William Duncan 1855-1916 (my G G Grandfather) was the other son.

William Duncan snr must have died young. Margaret Gardner marrioed a William Martin in the 1870's and lived also at Accademy Row Bathgate.
James Duncan lived with the Martin family prior to marrying Janet Donaldson.

Any info on these families would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Yes, James Duncan son of William Duncan & Margaret Gardner
is my Great Grandfather William Duncans brother.

Margaret Gardner remarried (Martin) in the 1870's, so her Husband William Duncan must have died. I did find a death of a William Duncan that happened due to shock after a Coal Mining accident at a Pit in Bathgate, which could be him?
