Duncan/Kinghorns - from Peterhead

Post by ross duncan » Sun Aug 23, 2009 7:15 pm

I believe that I am last Duncan. There is some history of Duncans and Kinghorns from Peterhead. My late grandfather (D.O.A.) 1903 was called George Kinghorn Duncan. Who had two brothers Alexander Chisholm Duncan (D.O.A.) 1897 & James Duncan (D.O.A.) 1900. Alexander Chishom Duncan had a son but died there is no record of James Duncan ever having a family. My late grandfather had only one and one grandson.

My great grandfather name was Alexander Duncan(D.O.A.) 1872 who married Susan Chisholm (D.O.A.) 1876.

My great/great grandfather James Duncan according to the 1881 Census was 43 married Janet Kinghorn.

I would be interested to know if there is any descendants left

I think there may be a few as your gg grandparents had a few sons.

Here they are in 1891 at Peterhead -

Jessie Duncan 47
Isabella Duncan 25
Jessie Duncan 20
Alexander Duncan 18
George Duncan 16
William Duncan 14
James Duncan 11
Thomas Duncan 9
John Duncan 6

James, Thomas and John are living with their sister Isabella (Watson) in 1901.

Maybe you could try posting your query on the Peterhead message board
