Hi Ann, Your anti spam blocker is rejecting my mail to you. Thanks for your reply, yes I got the letter re Duncan McG. marrying an Isabella McDonald. Here is what I have from John Ward :- Duncan McGregor Innkeeper at Brig o'Turk married Henrietta Isabella Ferguson They had a son Peter (b Callander 12Jun1836) who married Mary McGibbon (Stirling, Scotland, 5Jun1860) and migrated to Australia. There seem to be two marriages for this Duncan in the Callander register: first toJanet Ferguson on 29Dec1812, with a son William b Aberfoyle 20Mar1815 (IGI), and secondly to Henrietta Isabella (Henny) Ferguson 2Jun1821. Peter's marriage cert 1860 says his father was deceased by the time of his marriage. How does this fit with your info? as the above is our line, Peter being my husbands Gt Grandfather. I don't have anything before Duncan.. Mary.

Without supporting evidence it would be unwise to assume that the two Duncan McGregors are one and the same Two points 1. Duncan and Janet were having children up to 1827 - after the date given for the 2nd marriage 2. There seems to be quite a gap between 1821 - the reputed date of the 2nd marriage and the birth of Peter - 15 years It might be worth investigating if the 1821 date is a mis-transcription for 1831 Regards Tony ps Duncan McGregors are quite thick in the ground in the area
