Hi
yet again it's been so long since my last visit everything has changed (new layout)
please can anyone have a look for a Richard Philip Duncan in 1901 Leith 41 Bernard street for me i am working on details from ancestry trying to see if i can connect him to being a Philip Mcrea Duncan who seems to be missing from home in York but his wife is down as wife and not widow and the youngest child is 2 yrs cant find a death for him either so the hunch is he is in scotland
kind regards maggie

Hi Maggie,
Hmmm... he's there, but it looks like a mistranscription and either he should be Dawson or the others should be Duncan... Or maybe, since everyone has so many names, he was really Richard Philip Duncan Dawson and the last name was just left off Think he's probably not your man though If I understood your post properly

1901
41 Bernard St, Leith South, Midlothian
Richard Philip Dawson, 55, Head, born Banff, Ship Rigger
Helen Mary Hume Rae Dawson, 40, Wife, born Edinburgh
Richard Philip Duncan, 28, Son, born England, Engine Fitter
Margaret Calder, 25, Daur, born Edinburgh
Catherine Booth Dawson, 10, Daur, born Leith, scholar
David Dawson, 6, Son, born Leith, Scholar
Daisy Helen Rae Dawson, 4, Daur, born Leith
Douglas Dawson, 2, Son, born Leith

All the best,
Sarah

The chap at 41 Bernard St is actually Richard Philip Duncan Dawson as far as I can make out. Dawson has been missed out at Ancestry.

Hello Sarah
many thanks hmn... it's been so long since i did any research i'm a bit rusty i am doing this is for my daughters friend and working with only a few details starting with a marriage of a Grace McRae Duncan in 1923 so i thought i would look for Grace in the 1901 census and yes i found her in York age 4 with mum and 2 other siblings but no sign of dad who i think must be Philip McRae Duncan as there is a marriage in York in 1893 for him & Mary Jane who is shown to be Graces mum in the 1901 ,There isn't that many Philip Duncans on any of the census years .I think i will have to leave this one until i am less tired and can think straight
Thanks for looking at that one for me it's appreciated
kind regards maggie
ps thank you too Nelmit for looking for me

Hello Annette
mant thanks for the information i have had a look at his birth and the 1871 & 1881 census it looks hopefull though i can't find a suitable Philip in the 1891 or 1901 in Scotland or England .On free bmd i have found a death in York in 1913 of a Philip Duncan age 46 so i will go check that one out to see if it could be him
thanks once again
kindest regards maggie

Hi Maggie,
Have you checked out this one? I know his name is Peter, but was thinking that maybe Ancestry mis-read Philip. The middle name is suggestive.

1891
130 Parliamentary Rd, Glasgow Barony, Lanarkshire
Robert McLean, 39, Head, born Cromond, Edinburghs, Railway Carter
Isabella McLean, 43, Wife, born Hobkirk, Roxburghshire
Mary McLean, 13, Daug, born Selkirk, Roxburgh, Fruit Sales Girl
Robert McLean, 8, Son, born Cromond, Midlothian, Scholar
John McLean, 4, Son, born Glasgow, Lanarkshire
Peter Mcl Duncan, 28, Lodger, born Dalkeith, Edinburghshire, Cooper
Hugh Rowen, 39, Lodger, born Edinburgh, Midlothian, Cooper

All the best,
Sarah

Nope, sorry... that one is there in 1881 as well, so toss him out

There is a Philip Duncan on the incoming passenger list.I don't have access to details at home but maybe you've looked at that one Sarah.

The family in 1871 seem to disperse after that census.
