Thanks for your repsonse Colin

I have the same Census data for George and Ann for 1871. I also have a Manx 1861 return for George and Ann so I think the George and Hannah couple or different.

Other information:
i) I am led to believe he lost money in a Dumbles bank collapse
ii) They have a daughter called Rebecca from whom I am descended born in abt 1843 in Douglas.
iii) There is another George Duncan in the 1841 census. He is b abt abt 1780 in Scotland and therefore old enough to be the father of the George Duncan who I am currently focussed on. He is listed as a landed proprietor suggesting that both George Duncans have some money to their name and maybe a family linkage. Would they therefore qualify for obituaries?
