I think it's Sturges, and as you say, a surname used as a middle name often 'points the finger' at the father.

Perthshire / Scottish records - am I missing something?
« on: Saturday 12 April 25 19:49 BST (UK) »
I have found newspaper reports of the death by accidental drowning of James Campbell of Killin. James was 12 and he died on March 29 1894. I've tried every combination I can manage on Scotland's People to find a certified death but with no results. Any ideas on where to find it?

Gaelic Language / McIllhuaish
« on: Friday 21 February 25 10:24 GMT (UK) »
My apologies for writing in English, but I am hoping a Gaelic speaker can help me. I'm researching a family of mine with the name McIllhuaish (various spellings) that lived in the Loch Tay area. Could anyone explain what the name means? I've an idea about the first part, McIll, but no idea with the rest. Also I'd love to know how it would be pronounced.

A boarding house perhaps?

I agree wholeheartedly - I can't bear to use it anymore unless absolutely necessary

Not on La Digue I imagine but certainly at the capital, Victoria on Mahé. A outing to the other islands quite likely from there.

It could be La Digue, but I wouldn't be sure

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Sarah ? Happisburgh, Norfolk, 1673

I agree in the main with horsleydown - there are seven letters in the name although I see the ending as 'lell' not 'tell'. The scribe's t is much straighter and thicker. Also the preceding letter doesn't look like other y's in the text. I'm inclined to Reslell, but what that represents is another matter.
