Duncan / Strachan

[genjunction]

Can anyone help me solve a family problem ?

My g.grandmother Mary Duncan b 1874 had a daughter, my grandma, Gladsia Brayshaw Grace Rhind Duncan (phew what a mouth full ) b 1901.

I have found out that Gladsia (Gladys) was base born but the story goes that  Mary Duncan later married a man named John Strachan and they moved to Canada.

Now I know that my parents recieved wedding pressies from Canada.

Someone in Elgin did a little research and found Gladys's school info.  At the time of her schooling her guardian was her grandmother, Elizabeth Milton b 1837 in Forgue and dying in Unthank in 1947.

I know this is a long shot but can anyone shed even a twinkle of light on my problem.

As they say a problem shared is a problem halved, but even half a problem still niggles at you.
