Notes for Thomas & Isabella (Family)
Daryl Coup found that they married on 14 Dec 1790 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I'll try and confirm this before changing the 1793 date I got from the Twysden book.
Their eldest son Henry Duncan was born in Oct 1794, which could support either year.

The interesting thing about finding this marriage is that the line of baronets descended through them and their issue. Baronetcies can only be inherited by legitimate birth. Some, presumably, someone must have thought that they had been officially married and thus that the later baronets were Real baronets. Does this prove that a marriage much have been found?
