Hi Doreen no don't think so, Daniel was b 1808 (OPR), & the first time I saw Duncan was in the 1841 census age 20, so therefore b c1820-21, later census records & his death put his birth nearer 1817-18. (Alexander was b1820, that's why I thought the names might be interchangeable). There's also a girl Christian bc1825, still working on that one :) (she is 15 in the 1841 census). thanks Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: "DOREEN CUTHBERT" <doreencuthbert@btinternet.com> To: <perthshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 11:17 PM Subject: Re: [PERTHSHIRE] BROWN Duncan bc 1817 Callander Hi Jan, I have seen Duncan and Daniel used interchangably. Could Daniel be your Duncan?

Hi In the 1841 census ages for people 15 and over were rounded down to the nearest 5 years so someone aged 20 could be anywhere between 20yo and 24yo Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "rusty york" <rusty_york@xtra.co.nz> To: <perthshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2010 6:09 PM Subject: Re: [PERTHSHIRE] BROWN Duncan bc 1817 Callander > Hi Doreen > > no don't think so, Daniel was b 1808 (OPR), & the first time I saw Duncan > was in the 1841 census age 20, so therefore b c1820-21, later census > records > & his death put his birth nearer 1817-18.
