| Biography Notes |
Brighton SA |
There is contradictory information about who James married late in his life. Different sources agree that the wedding was on 2nd March 1914 but did he marry Mary Ann Gravestock or Marion Pearson?
|
| Biography Notes |
This was the "Uncle Jimmy" who came to the rescue of his neice Eliza Haldane (later Mrs Poole) and supplied the money for her dress for the special concert.
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.
«b»MARRIAGE«/b»: James, later in life, married a widow, Mrs Pearson. She had a daughter from a previous marriage.
For a time they ran the Temperance Hotel at Blackwood. He left no descendants. [1] |
| Marriage/Wedding |
2 Mar 1914 |
| The SA Genealogy BDM Register states a clear record of a marriage of James to a Marion Pearson. The thorough search of ANY EXISTENCE OF A Mary Ann Gravestocks or Gravestock or Mary-Ann or Maryann or Mary Anne all fall on nil records. So highly unlikely that there was this marriage at all or even a second marriage. Original SourceS need to offer clarity on WHY they thought it was a second or alternative name as without sound rationale it is HIGHLY unlikely. Nil evidence found. Sound evidence found to Marion Pearson. Researcher Lorna McLean 31.10.2017 |
