<<<< See David Graham Flucker's brothers and sisters >>>>

Correct age and street makes it look like this is definitely the same David Flucker who later in 1852 married Margaret Graham. Ann Flucker is believed to be his second wife, Christian Greig, and their son Comb who was born in 1831.  Not sure what relationship the others in the household have to David Flucker. They don't appear to be children from his first marriage to Ann Forbes.
