Hi Daryl, Ah - well if they were both Dugald I would say the first one died and the couple had a second son by the same name. But one is spelled Dougall so I am not so sure - especially if you have a future for the second one! "My" Dugald McCorkindale - a mariner - married Janet McEwing and had 4 or 5 sons then his wife died ( or rather was found dead) in February 1881. He remarried in October 1881 to Maggie Kelly. I don't know whether they had any children but an earlier Dugald McCorkindale married an earlier Margaret Kelly in 1825 and had children in the 1830s. A lot of cousins married cousins I think. This is the gravestone for Janet and some sons: Erected by Dugald McCorkindale Master Mariner In memory of his beloved wife Janet McEwing Who died February 13th 1881 aged 56 years Also his three sons Archibald, Hugh and James Who died young. The other sons of Dugald and Janet were Andrew and Dugald. I can't find the marriage you mention on the IGI. I imagine this will make things less clear - sorry!

I am sure someone will agree that spelling doesn't mean too much in research. I have a number of circumstances such as you describe, including first cousin marriage.
