Hi Jim, sorry , no I haven't got a Duncan in my line, but the funny thing is there was a Duncan Strachan born about 1920, in Western Australia, his father and my Grandmother were brother and sister, I don't know where the Duncan came from My David Strachan was married in Benholm 1836, and lived in Benholm, Arbuthnott., Dunnottar, and Laurencekirk, What did the L.M stand for in his name. Good Hunting.
