1901 census look up please
« on: Friday 30 July 10 16:25 BST (UK) »
Could someone have a look for a James Mitchell Duncan in the 1901 census.

He was born c1857.  There should be two children Ann c1890 and Alexander Williamson Duncan c 1891 and possibly James c1887 and John c1889.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Betty

I think this might be them in 1901, going by their 1891 entry - the Duncans showing as born in Urquhart:

James Duncan 43, plasterer
James Duncan 14
John Duncan 12
Ann Stewart 28, servant
James Mckintosh 4, boarder

Address: Fosterseat, St Andrews Lhanbryd, Moray

Hi Monica

Thanks for finding the Duncans in the 1901 census.   It certainly looks like my lot, going by their ages.  Although James has changed his occupation.

Is there any sign of the younger children living with relatives.

I think James' wife may have died after the birth of Alexander.

Thanks for your help with this.

This might be them in 1901, if the senior Duncans are James' parents:

James Duncan 72, saw miller
Jane Duncan 65
William Duncan 24, son
Annie S Duncan 11, granddaughter
Alexander W Duncan 9, grandson

Address: Village Of Urquhart

Thanks Monica for finding the other two children.

It looks like grandparents may have brought up the younger children.

I appreciate your efforts.
