Title: Duff Family
Post by: Yettigirl on Monday 23 January 06 08:56 GMT (UK)

I am trying to research the Duff Family.
Donald Duff born approx 1790-1800 married Janet Roy Isdale.
They had 2 children Margaret born 1823 Fossaway & Tullikbole Parish and John born 1826 also Fossaway & Tullibole Parish.   If anyone can find out anymore information on Donald Duff it would be much appreciated.  I am not sure where he was born in Scotland but would like to know what his parents names were and if he had any siblings.  I hope someone can help me.
Regards Eileen

Hi, I wonder if this is of use to you. Donald Duff, John Duff and Margaret Duff came out to NZ on the Larkins in 1848.  It landed in Port Chalmers.  Look up "all ships list" on line.  They are all of the right age.  Donald was listed as a widower.  He is my ancester.
