HI,

Oighrig is gaelic for Henrietta.  I think Henrietta is form of Euphemia too judging from the website, pretty confusing eh?

Hi Annie

I can't work out whether you found a birth registration for her - did you?

If so, what was she recorded as?

Mmmmm,  I searched for her under "Effie" and Henrietta and Euphemia, but nothing......I'll have another go.   I found the marriage and she is recorded as Effie, I'll do another search and see what it brings up, be in touch in a moment....

[annypanny]

Here she is on familysearch!

It's Henrietta but the Graham has an E at the end, just to keep us on our toes....That's why I couldn't find it first time round.

Birth Date:    15 Jun 1891
Birthplace:    Stornoway, Ross & Cromarty, Scotland

Parents Allan and Mary MacKay

The birth of Henrietta is different......from what is says on her death cert and her birth.  The birth from FamilySearch may be her Baptism date the her true birth date may be recorded on her death.  Only a guess....

Yeah... I found a Roderick & a Murdock together as well...hmmm did I check occupations? but then Roderick was to have been in Manitoba...I never found him 1911...May have been working up North and not been recorded...
We may not find him on any records if he was working on The Pas location.

I passed this one by but now that we found a daughter by this name?

SP has the birth of Henrietta Grahame at 3 am on 15 June 1891, Garrabost. Parents were  Allan Grahame and Mary McKay. They married Oct 2 1880, Stornoway.

I think the death entry birth date is wrong unless Allan was telling porkies.

I wonder who registered her death, a child or it must have been a family friend who just guessed......

Duplicate, apologies...

Yeah... I found a Roderick & a Murdock together as well...hmmm did I check occupations? but then Roderick was to have been in Manitoba...I never found him 1911...May have been working up North and not been recorded...
