Although born in England Duncan McArthur is a very Scottish name I wonder if he followed the traditional Scottish naming pattern with his children which would perhaps give clues to his parents.

Andrew was referring to the traditional choice of first names see

Are these all the children born to Duncan Mcarthur & Jane Perry?

Edith F
Lillian
Clara
Violet Elizabeth
Alice Maud
Laura(ie) Jane
Daisey
Lizzie
Blanche Marriott
Isabel Mabel

It has just struck me that Sarah Benning doesn't sound all that different from Sarah Browning.

Am I clutching at a straw?

I wondered the same - I posted the link from familysearch towards the beginning of the post but there's no image to view  :-\

1870/1880 US census his occ Custom House Broker
1850 US census Duncan McArthur occ Clerk

For info…… there is this Duncan McArthur but he’s born in Scotland  :-\
1851 census Abbotsford Place, 33, Gorbals, Laurieston, Lanarkshire, Scotland
DUNCAN McArthur   Son   Unmarried 1821   Clerk (customs) Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire
1841 census Shore Street, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland
DUNCAN  McArthur   1820   Renfrewshire, Scotland
That's a good find, but you then have to explain how come he was in Glasgow in 1851 if he was in New York in 1850 (for the census) and 1852 (to get married).

This looks like the son of Charles McArthur and Elizabeth Forrest, baptised in Port Glasgow on 3 May 1920. There is no record of his death in Scotland unless there's an error in his mother's name in the index.

Good point Forfarian - had forgotten he was on 1850 US census  ::) so he can be ruled out

Andrew, your right, I think its the only way to be sure.
I've been on the NYC Department of Records and its not that easy to do, however, I know a guy who has offered to help previously in the USA, you don't like to impose too much do you but I think I'll reach out to him and see what he can do.
I'll get back to you on this

I think that's a good idea fingers crossed.

It might be helpful if a passenger list could be found for the Perry's - I've not found anything yet  ???

You have been busy early this morning Neale! All I can add at the moment from the 1871 census you mention with Edith McArthur https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VRN5-ZXJ
The mothers maiden name of the Browning daughters Elizabeth, Lavinia & Emily from GRO indexes is SULLINGS

Will take a look later to see if I can find a Duncan, wine merchant, Sarah & Duncan Mcarthur Browning together on 1841 census
