uanachan. Are we seeing the whole image here. Has part of the word been cut at the right side?

I don't think the word is longer,  Family search also shows Uarrach

Thank you Forfarian.

Its the first time I had seen a nick name listed as surname.  Like you I cannot see a close match in Gaelic ( I am not a native speaker).   If this the baptism belongs to 'my' Janet her father William was a weaver.   

Some one else (on the page of Baptisms) has the same occupation and another clearly shows weaver.  Its a shame no surname entered for the mother.

Meanwhile - date. location and names tick the boxes.

Sorry for the confusion

Here is a snip of the entry from Scotlands People. 

On this page, the surnames are down the right hand side.  I was asking two questions - the occupation and the addition of the Uarrach alias Fraser.  That is how it is indexed as well.

I mispelt the word!  Sorry - this is also in Ross-shire. 

The entry is listed under WILLIAM FRASER OR UARRACH  -

Inverness / Urrach alias Fraser
« on: Thursday 06 January 22 09:21 GMT (UK)  »
This is the way that a baptism is entered into the Parish Register and Indexed on SP,  Killearnan 1804.

The entry itself contains few clues, William Fraser, spouse  Ann  - then a space, daughter Jannet,  living at Kilcoy with no further mention of Urrach or why it was mentioned.

Can anyone suggest the reason or significance for the addition of  'Urrach'?  Or help with the occupation  - attached

Thank you.

The Common Room / Re: Shipwreck of Nelson Wood 1843

Does anybody know where I could find any information on a crew member of a sunk ship?

The vessel was called the Nelson Wood and sunk off Ireland in 1843. More info on it at: http://mightyseas.perso.sfr.fr/marhist/maryport/nelson_wood.htm

My reason for asking is that I'm trying to discover if one of the crew is one of my missing direct line ancestors. He was at home (Scotland) in 1841 with his wife and two infant sons and his given occupation would fit. By 1851, his wife is listed as a widow and I have run out of ideas looking for him.

I cannot move further back in my family tree without more info about him and wondered if he died at sea if there may be more info somewhere that I haven't discovered.

Any advice/ideas would be appreciated.


 I Came about this post and I know it is several years old as I was looking for info on this ship - my interest is in John Fletcher who was on board as shown by this
