I have an Archibaldina Neilson.

The favoured family name for first boys was Archibald.  One family had five consecutive girls, then named the sixth, and last, Archibaldina.
I suppose they just HAD to get the name in somehow.

She never married, and in her death cert she is "Ina".
NEILSON - Erskine/Bishopton, Renfrewshire and Glasgow

Hi
Are you researching the Hart family from Ashton in Makerfield. The name that you found confusing is Methuselah Hart born 1833 Ashton. He was the son of my husband's 3x Great Grandfather.
Regards Joyce

I am linked into a line of Freaks, sometimes Freick, Friek, Frieck and Frick. All from County Durham in England  and very hard to find on indexes.

Could it not be McCuel or McCue (if the surname is pronounced Mac-Yule rather than Mac-Yul)?
