Travelling with 7 month old son, James P. born in Glasgow. Her husband was Mr James MacDonald, 2062 Main Street, Niagra Falls, Canada and her father was Mr George Duncan, 87 Eastside, Kirkintilloch, Scotland.

Yeah GlasgowLass think that may be the same family as George's occupation matches with marriage cert. I'm really grateful for all the help i've had as I was lost with this one. Thank you so much.

Is this the family?

George Duncan 29 Iron Moulder b Glasgow
Mrs G Duncan 27 wife B Leith, Midlothian
James W Duncan 7 son. B Kirkintilloch
Christina Duncan 5 daughter. B Kirkintilloch
William Duncan 2 son. B Kirkintilloch


Edit:
SP search shows 2 matches :
James Watson Duncan b 1894 registered both Kirkintilloch & Larbert
Possibly the same child.

Parents possibly George Duncan and Margaret Hall.
Marriage registered in Kirkintilloch 1894

This is fantastic thank you so much :-)

Scotland
Death Date:

Alexander MacDonald
Mother:
Jean Pollack
Certificate Number:

His address was 360 McKee Place, he was separated from his wife, he was a miner. He died of pulmonary fibrosis and cardiac decompensation.

Yes MargaretM this must be him as i noticed on his marriage cert that his mother is named as Jeanie and not Jane for some reason. She seemed to have been known as either Jane, Jean or Jeanie. My grandmother was also called Jean and she was known as the 3 names also.

Is this him?
