NOTE

I don't think William married Isobel & their son, Alexr. was possibly illigitimate. He was brought up by his father however. His 2nd wife, Jean must have died between 1849-50 as he was re-married by 1851. Ann was born c 1830 at Auchterless, Aberdeen & died in 1914. Her parents were James Duncan & Ann Elder.

Ann died aged 16 yrs.

Other tree's also record another child, Gordon, twin brother of Elizabeth but I couldn't find any evidence of him?
