In Levin he fell in love with Francis and they got married. When he came to NZ he became a linesman and when he got depressed and then he became a cow milker for his neighbors. He died in October 1967. This report is going to tell you the push and pull factors of William Duguid leaving Scotland and coming to New Zealand. It will also tell you what was going on in the 1920-1930 in Scotland that was a problem.
One of the many reasons why William Duguid and others probably were leaving Scotland is because of the overpopulation and there weren’t much land for everyone to settle down.

Because of the Industrial Revolution 2000 people died early deaths every year and that made the life expectancy go down 11 years. The rivers in Scotland were poisoned from dye works, chemical works, metal works and sewage waste. How many people would have been saved if the if the Industrial Revolution had not been
