There are further marriages, in 1977 & 1985, in district Motherwell and Wishaw. Its possible the later ones are for a potential son b 1960, Bellshill.

Are you looking for his ancestors, or details of his life events?

If this is May's death, its possible that he married one of the others listed. Can't tell from the index listings!

The death for Margaret MacMillan / Gunn is also indexed as Donaldson so either Margaret and Duncan divorced or that death for Duncan is incorrect.

There is also a possible death for Duncan in Cambusnethan in about 1939. Can’t access it at the moment

As I stated the 1969 was speculative- in view of where the mother died
