| Biography Notes |
It is not known if he left Strathalbyn to work "up north" as a drover or on cattle stations as did his brother John Stuart Duncan.
He would have been aged 25 when his father Allan moved to Collinsfield near Redhill in 1878 and was not then married so when his fathers new farm failed in the 1880's he would have been obliged to go his own way even if he was still with his father (BRB p78).
