Charles Duncan and Christina Grewar's children:
1.  William Duncan b 10 July 1827 Liff Benvie and Invergowrie, Angus, Scotland
2.  Margaret Duncan born 9 August 1829, Liff Benvie and Invergowrie, Angus, Scotland (married David Craig, seaman, see 1861 census)
3.  Andrew Greig Duncan, born 3 July 1831 Liff Benvie and Invergowrie, Angus, Scotland (not found after this date, apparently he died before the 1841 census) (The middle name Greig may be a clue going back in this line.)  (There is an Andrew Duncan born 1831 in Ferryport on Craig, Fife who has a Master's and Mates Certificate number 8785 but why would he be born outside of the family residence?)
4.  Jean Robbie Duncan born 23 April 1833 Liff Benvie and Invergowrie, Angus, Scotland GS Film 0993484-0993485 (not found after this date, apparently she died before the 1841 census)

6.  George Duncan, born 1838
7.  Christina Duncan, born November 17 1840, baptized December 1 twin
8.  Elizabeth Duncan, born November 17 1840, baptized December 1 twin

No Andrew Duncan in the 1841 census?  Why?

1841 census:  They live at Smalls Wynd, Dundee
Janet Duncan born 1806 (not sure who she is or is this a nickname for Christina.  She could also be a domestic servant)
Margaret Duncan, born 1830
Charles Duncan Jr, born 1836
George Duncan, born 1838
Christina Duncan, born January 1841
Elizabeth Duncan, born January 1841,  twins
(The 1841 census was taken June 6, 1841.)
