Thanks Nick. Yes, I did say the two I mentioned were earlier but mused at the possibility that later two were descendants. Some of my later Duncans were in Dundee having come from the Edzell, Montrose and Lochlee areas. I know of one other Ian Gammage but he is in England so the one in Canada is a third. I have some connections to a Gammage family in Canada but to Ian so far as I am aware. I am in Australia. If anything does crop up on the Duncans it would be great to hear.
