Don't keep us in suspense .... who were their parents, and is your John mentioned in Duncan's will? :)
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Sorry.
Duncan's parents are John Campbell and Catherine Horne.
Elizabeth's parents are Robert Baxter and Helen Baxter (Baxter is correct).
I had to get an extract, as SP are not issuing certified Death Certificates due
to restrictions placed by the Coronavirus.
John Campbell is mentioned in Duncan's Will, it looks like a small settlement.
I need to read this document with a magnifying glass as some of the writing needs to be read several times.
Will get back shortly.

Regards
A weepeep

I don't understand this - you should have been able to look at both those deaths online. It's only the certificates after the cut-off dates in they 20th century that are currently unavailable.

The main thing is that it confirms that you now have the correct parents (and grandparents).

Hi,
Thank you all for that information and help.
I'll will let you know when I have received the reply
from the Dundee archives.
In the mean time I will continue my search through
other sites and will try to obtain information on
GGGF's voyages.
I would appreciate if you come across further info or
have any further thoughts, that you keep me in mind.
I don't wish to loose this connections with you.
Best regards
A weepeep
