Classification: Query
Surnames: Duff & Peel.
Hugh Duff b.c. 1813 Co. Armagh m (1) Margaret Peel m. (2) Dorothy (maiden surname unknown). Issue Robert, Thomas b.c. 1842 & John b.c.1843 Ireland. Emigrated to Greenock Scotland.
The 1861 census for Greenock shows Hugh's occupation as gardener, Thomas as apprentice cooper and John as apprentice plasterer.
Margaret Peel obviously died prior to the move to Scotland as Hugh is listed with wife Dorothy and all are recorded as born in Ireland. Family history states that the children were born to Margaret
As the family are not listed in the 1851 census they must still have been in Ireland at that time so their move must have been post 1851 but pre 1861.
