The Kintyre Forum

I am trying to trace on ancestor who seems to have disappeared completely
off the radar.

Duncan Lang born 1880 in Glasgow to Peter Lang and Mary McHardy

Peter was born in Campbeltown 1855 and died Glasgow 1881, Mary remarried in
Glasgow and moved to Milton of Campsie. Duncan had a sister Elizabeth
McHardy Lang born in 1881 she was brought up by her maternal Grand Parents
in Invernesshire.

Duncan is on the 1881 census but is not on the 1891 with his mother or
sister or any of his grand parents, there is no death certificate lodged for
him in Glasgow from 1880 onwards.

The only Duncan Lang that fits his age and I cannot account for elsewhere on
the tree is one that died in WW1. According to the Commonwealth graves
commission he died 30/9/1917 and is the husband of Mrs Duncan Lang , 1 Big
Kiln Campbeltown Aged 37.

I don’t know if there is a record of the WW1 dead in Campbeltown and who they were related too or maybe a
local paper would have the details of who’s son or husband he is ?

I am grateful to any help as this brickwall has been perplexing me for years

Thanks in advance

David Lang

PS Duncan would be my 1st Cousin 3 times removed!!
