Research Notes

• The original Gedcom import references the 1841 Scotland Census record for Thomas Duncanson , which cites wife Helen born 1791 (est from stated age 50). The 1851 Scotland Census Ancestry Record 1851Scotland #170327 gives her age as 60, and Birthplace as St.Ninian's, Stirlingshire, Scotland. According to Scotlands People, The only Helen Graham recorded as baptized in St, Ninians was in 1788^[1], which is a bit more reasonable than 1791, given a first child in 1806 (Helen age 18 vice 15).
