William Duncan Larbert

HI Ann

Have you found anything at all about George Duncan?  I couldn't see a likely one in the 1881  and, not knowing his age, it was needles and haystacks 

I recall that Stenhousemuir was written on one of the certs.

Hi
 I no nothing about George  except on both cert s he says he is a iron work labourer  and as the carron iron works was near by  would be be working there  jessie was 25 when she died

[ann60]

in the 1881 census william was boarded out to the wood family in aberdour aberdeenshire  it also says on that census that place of birth was unknown. the 1891 censuc it says  carron stirlingshire, then 1900 it says larbert

I wonder if the Woods had any links to the family at all?

In those days,  when adoption wasn't formalised, children might be taken in by relatives/ friends/neighbours.  Unless the Woods took in foster children 

Have you checked them out?

Hi Gadget & Ann
Do you think it might be worth ann looking at trades or find where the Iron Works were and follow that through?  Just a thought
