There are only 23 James Duncan/Anderson marriages in the OPRs. 6 of these are in the 1700s and only one of these is in Aberdeenshire. But that one in 1760 in Cairnie is to an Elspet Anderson. I suspect that a minister getting married would be much more likely to have his marriage recorded in the parish records than some others. A quick look at the OS map did not spot ny place name that might meet this case. Tom C.
