How interesting, my dad will be amazed when I tell him about this, he loves all this stuff too.  I wondered about the name Grigor and thought maybe it was a Hebrew variation of Gregor maybe  following on from Isaac lol.  In hindsight though, I think that's just how it's pronounced in Inverness.   Isaac does appear to be a popular name for the period but it's still a bit strange.  I'll be in touch if I find out anything else and it would be great to hear from you too. So nice to hear from you. :)

I also think you are probably right with Maria Loppes.  I think Lap is definitely a typo and Mary Lop sounds more like the name the locals in Inverness may have called her lol.

Hi,

I am amazed to come across this post.  I'm Gillian and Isaac was my great great grandad.  Unfortunately I have also hit a wall with Mary Lap.  However, in one of the handwritten documents I checked out online, it actually looked more like "Lop" to me than "Lap".  Lop does appear to be a valid portuguese surname - a version of Lopez I think?????  Just thought I'd mention that in case it helps open up any avenues.  I'd be really interested to hear if anyone finds out any more! :)
