James Duncan or Fowler

[patjohn]

Hi I'm looking for any descendants of Catherine Fairweather Robertson or Fowler who married William Doig Duncan on 27/12/48 in Dundee in Scotland and emigrated to Australia afterwards, probably about 1951. Catherin's son from her first marriage, James Fowler was probably called James Duncan by the time he emigrated with Catherine and William. It is actually descendants of James that I'm interested in but all information will be welcomed. Unfortunately I have no idea where in Australia they went.

Dear PatJohn

More information is definitely required.  But in a search of the National Archives of Australia, there were 21 hits of 'James' and 'Duncan'.

http://www.naa.gov.au/
click on 'records search' left hand side
click on 'search now as a guest', and enter your keywords and/or dates.

And if you are searching for descendants in Australia, I suggest you put your tree 'on-line' say www.GenesReunited.com, with what information you have to hand, and you may be contacted by living individuals researching the same branches you are.  Every 14 days you will receive 'hot matches' with your tree.  It costs me under $20 aussie dollars per annum.

This is also a brilliant link to a website, with links to many other sites, if you want to learn more about Australian research in general.

Good luck in your hunt.

This is great.  The deaths of William Doig Duncan and Catherine add to my family search. Now I just need to find Catherine's son Robert originally Fowler but may have been changed to Duncan when Catherine and William married in Scotland. Robert is my cousin, the only one I had/have on my mother's side. At least Victoria is a start although I realise that he could well not be there now.
