Catherine (Kate) Duncan

The BIRTH CERTIFICATE of Alexander John Duncan should give you a lot of information.

DO YOU HAVE THAT?   You say he was born in 1926, but in the Scotland’s People index the only Alexander John Duncan I can find born around then was born in   1927.

Keep working on it!  We’d all like to move this along!

I do not have a copy of the Birth Cert for Alexander John Duncan know to the family as 'George' and his surname was Duncan. I picked up the Date 1926 on FindMyPast. So it could be 1927. The entry in SP says Tarves which is a village in Aberdeenshire. No image available. thank You david

As it's less than 100yrs since the birth you will have to buy a copy - it can't be downloaded

This post needs to be put on hold until birth cert available as something just does not add up

Just to sum up

We have your uncle as Alexander John Duncan born 1927.  His marriage cert shows only one parent - mother Annie

His mother drowned in Aberdeen and you say you have found a death in 1960 for a Catherine Margaret Oliphant ??  No death on SP under that name but you say death cert shows her as the widow of William McHardy Duncan

I cannot see any link between a woman called Catherine Margaret Oliphant Shepherd b 1888 who married in 1911 and Alexander John Duncan b 1927 who gives his mothers name as Annie?

Annie cannot be the daughter of Catherine Margaret & William McHardy Duncan as they only married in 1911


What year did Alexander John Duncan die?  Where did he die?

Thank You. I agree that without a birth cert of Alexander Duncan its difficult to proceed.

I have printed images from Scotlands People of the following:
 Birth  1888 Catherine Margaret Oliphant Shepherd  218/ 37
 Marriage 1911 William Duncan  &  Catherine Shepherd  168/1 534
 Death  1960 Catherine Margaret Oliphant Duncan  168/3 66

 Alexander John Duncan died in 2005 in Ellon, Aberdeen.

I thought it was the 1911 marriage cert that named the mother as Annie DUNCAN.

What were Williams parents names on the 1911 marriage cert and how old was William in 1911?

Did they marry before or after the 1911 census?

There is only one parent on the wedding cert Annie Duncan Domestic Servant. He was 23 years old.
Catherine Margaret Oliphant Shepherd also has only one parent as she was illegitimate, Mary Ann Shepherd Domestic Servant she also was 23 years old.
Marriage was 13th September 1911, I do not know when the census was done. Thank You. david

The William Allardy one stated age '0' so a still birth.

It's not a still birth. There is a separate register for still births and it is not available to view.

If the age at death is shown as 0 it means the child was born alive but died before its first birthday.

There is a listing of a birth of William Allardy Duncan in Aberdeen Rubislaw in 1928.
