Hello Frances. I have had more time to look at your info. I am now wondering if this 80 year old who would have YOB 1848 may have been the father of a younger John Duff?? I have a reference to a John James Duff YOB 1879 Douglas area. Annie and John Duff had a son in 1926, William Robert Howard Duff. Did you see the third marriage of John Duff to Annie Duff, nee Wilson? If so, can you give me a date/year please? Thank you once again, I am not very good navigating my way through these records!
Regards
Gillian
