Did George Duncan marry the witness at his sister Elizabeth's wedding? Yes!
Based on Sandra's thinking which I truly don’t begin to understand, I thought I would take a chance on George Duncan and Isabel Steele on Scotland’s people and came up a winner.
In 1862 Isabel Steele is the witness for David and Elizabeth’s wedding and later Elizabeth's brother George Duncan moves in with her family and he falls in love with Elizabeth’s neighbor! In the 1871 census Margaret Duncan Craig is living at 14 Fish Street. George marries on April 30th 1867 and is living at 8 Fish Street. His Intended Isabel Steele lives at 13 Fish Street. Duncan’s like Fish Street.
So George is living with his sister Elizabeth and David Shiells, gets married and later in the year Elizabeth dies on September 30, 1867, 5h 25 min pm at 8 Fish Street Dundee, She was 27.
