I have confirmed that the family tree of James Duffus of Glasgow (J5) links into the family tree of Alexander Duffus of Elgin. Morayshire (A1) From Generation 4 of the "Alexander Duffus of Elgin tree", our family tree branches off to Alexander ( born 1815). He married Margaret Williamson & had 4 children - Jane, Alexander ( b 1850), John & James Alexander (b 1850) married Hamilton Smith on 13.3.1871. They had at least 3 children - Janet, William & James(b 26.6.1877/d10.12.1961) James married Jeannie Davidson Stouppe 28.10.1898 & had 7 children - Sarah, Netta, Ina, Betty, Samuel(b 20.7.1911/d 5.3.1991), James, MillieHe remarried after Jeannie died. Married Margaret Dunlop Blackie on 12.11.1929 & had one further child - Robert(Bobbie) Frederick Blackie Duffus(b 17.11.1930). We met up with Bobbie in Glasgow in 2000 after the Duffus reunion. He has 4 grown children. Samuel emigrated to Australia - this is already on the James Duffus of Glasgow (J5) family tree. I have been in contact with Gordon Duffus already & we are all very excited that we've established this family tree link.
