Thanks again Sandra

I managed to find the index records for William's Naturalization on Family Search    This additional information for his second wife, Helen, is a bonus!

Glasgow to New York - arriving 3 April 1922 - Cameronia - mother Mrs Christina Cunningham, 33 No Castle Street St Andrews. Going to a friend David Kirkcaldy Cape Fear Country Club, Wilmington.

Hi Sandra

I never actually got the petition, just the index for it    but thanks for the information anyway.

I've just discovered that William was originally registered as "John Frederick" and a correction made "under the hand of the Reverend James Ferguson B.D., Minister of the Martyrs Free Church, St Andrews, Fife" to read "William Melville Duncan"

A serious name change
