;D You're not going mad Pat. I've just tried the same search and got the exact number!
Must have been a big page ::)
I've been having a few problems on Ancestry this morning (pages not loading etc). Maybe there is some 'maintenance' underway which is sending everything temporarily haywire.

Really quite interesting, have just worked my way through some of the 144 thousand names etc, just use the "view record" SURPRISING... this seems to be mainly 1841 records..have just come up with a couple of Fergusons I have been looking for..so you never know..can't explain really what I am getting at, but try it and see :D
Or maybe someone with at little more "nouse"than me could have a look and put it on the general scotland board or something...
Too early in the morning so maybe I am not making much sense ::)

IGI shows Duncan as one of six siblings.

Are you looking at the census transcriptions on Ancestry?
If so, could the problem be because Ancestry is being too clever about surnames?
The surname MacFarlane is from Gaelic Mac Pharlain, meaning 'son of Parlan'. Parlan is a variant of the rather better known name Bartholomew.
So I wonder whether most of the 144,405 names might be MacFarlanes (or McFarlanes) with a few Bartholomews for good measure.
I suggest looking for your Parlans on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk - you will have to check the original image sooner or later because you can't rely on transcriptions, especially on Ancestry, so you may as well do it now.
