Hi

This is an extracted record from the IGI at www.familysearch.org

JOHN HAY LOCHIEL Christening:  15 JAN 1816   Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen   Father:  JOHN LOCHIEL   Mother:  ANN HAY 

plus son of the same name

JOHN HAY LOCHIEL Birth:  08 JUN 1849  Christening:  08 JUL 1849   Turriff, Aberdeen   Father:  JOHN LOCHIEL    Mother:  MARGARET BLAIKE 

[CaroleW]

This is a submitted record which looks as though the person submitting the record has John's wife's name as his mother's name

That is why submitted records are often unreliable and need to be checked out

John Lochiel  Birth:  About 1821   Death:  17 MAY 1887   Aberdeen  Father:  John Lochiel    Mother:  Margaret Hay 

[CaroleW]

Other children shown on the IGI.  The spelling of Margaret's maiden name is shown as mainly Blaike but on one entry it is Blake

THOMAS LOCHIEL Birth:  24 APR 1851  Christening:  16 MAY 1851   Turriff, Aberdeen
 
JAMES LOCHIEL  Birth:  31 JAN 1861   Turriff, Aberdeen
 
MARGARET LOCHIEL Birth:  08 OCT 1868   Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen
 

[CaroleW]

And their marriage.  Found it under Blaike as Lochiel is spelt Lochel on the transcription

MARGARET BLAIKE   Spouse:  JOHN LOCHEL   
Marriage:  09 DEC 1848   Turriff, Aberdeen

I am posting full 1861 details for info for any other Rootschat helpers - particularly as they are indexed as COCHELL

It's quite possible that Margaret's age is wrong given that son John is 19.  Ancestry only have an index so I am unable to check the image.   All b Aberdeen except Margaret

John   42  boot & shoe maker
Margaret  32  b Auchterless, Banffshire
William 19 
John  12 
Thomas   10 
George   6 
James   1 Mo 
Turriff; ED: 2; Page:  15; Line: 2

[CaroleW]

I have found them on the 1851 indexed as LACHALL.  Same address as 1861 - Chapel St.  All b Aberdeen

John 34 no occ shown 
Margaret 24 b Marnoch Banff
William 8 b Marnoch
John 2
Turriff; ED: 3; Page:  2; Line: 23; Roll: 360

William was born 1843 so must be Margaret's son (probably illegitimate given her age)

Hi Norrie,

I also have LOCHIEL'S in my family.  The first documentation I have for mine is in Lanarkshire.  There is not many around and I know of this family you're researching.  There are a lot of spelling variations.  Leochell is another one.  I notice you are also researching Cunninghams. 

It's late here is Oz, but will look at the post better tomorrow and see if I can add anything to what Carol has found.
