Is this name STRANGE????
« on: Tuesday 08 May 18 15:48 BST (UK) »
I've been researching this branch for a while now and thought the Maiden Surname was STRANGE, however I have my doubts it even begins with S.......any ideas?
Family names and connections I’m researching.

McKechnie (Ireland, Johnstone, Old Monkland, Bartiebeith, Easterhouse, Auchinloch)
Stewart (Ireland, Johnstone)
Connolly/Connelly (Ireland, Cavan, Cootehill, St Rollox and Townhead Glasgow)
Morrow (Ireland, Enniskillen, Paisley)
Howard (Ireland, Garngad/Garngadhill)
Gamble/Gambell (Ireland, Glasgow)
Carmichael (Manchester, Campsie, New Kilpatrick )
Hendry/Henry (Ireland,Broxburn, Coatbridge Old Monkland)
McLelland (Ireland, Coatbridge, Old Monkland)

Sorry, I can only see a portion of the documents, but the part I can see looks like

Margaret C Holmes
Domestic Servant
Spinster

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

I've cheacked again, and yes I do think it is STRANGE, the 's' looks the same as other upper case 's's and the 't' has a flourish that the others have on the page.

Does look like an 'h' though!

Ballingall, Donaldson, Fulton, Gillespie, Ramsay, Walker - in Fife.
Bury - in Salford & Liverpool.
Jack - in Glasgow, Dunfermline & Dundee.
Bermingham/Birmingham - in Cork.
Eagle - in Norfolk, Edinburgh & Glasgow.
