Elspet Duncan 2 3
- Born: 26 May 1764, Fordyce, Banff, Scotland
- Christened: 26 May 1764, Fordyce 4 5
- Marriage: Alexander Duncan on 25 Feb 1789 in Fordyce 1
- Died: Bef 1826 6
General Notes:
It should also be noted that Elspet, the wife of naval surgeon Alexander Duncan, drops out of the records after producing two children soon after her marriage. The Heritage Officer at Moray Council says that Elspet died at Broom but cannot say when she died or where she is buried. I think this is very odd. (PTGray)
Elspet married Alexander Duncan, son of John Duncan and Elspet Davidson, on 25 Feb 1789 in Fordyce.1 (Alexander Duncan was christened on 11 Oct 1763 in Keith, Banffshire 7 and died on 13 Feb 1826 in Cullen, Banff, Scotland 8 9.)

PTGray, ANESFHS also has an incomplete Memorial Inscriptions Index that lists a
tombstone No. 1 in Cullen inscribed Alexander Duncan 13 Feb 1826 and
tombstone No. 10 inscribed Alexander Gray (no date), Robert Grant 9 Apr
1808 and Elizabeth Duncan 31/8/1809 (this might be Elspet) and tombstone
No. 3 inscribed John Fraser 30 Nov 1848 and Catherine Duncan 11 Apr 1862. I have asked for the full unpublished text of the inscriptions on
tombstones 1, 3 and 10.
