Martha FRASER’s maiden name is?

[mckha489]

It looks like MACERIL. But that is not anything like any name I can think of. Any suggestions?

Macneil?

Looks a bit like Macevil -- but I've never heard of a name like that!

Have you considered looking for Martha's marriage to presumably a Mr. Frazer?  Do you have enough information to do that?

This looks like a Scotland's People record.   If so you can always request a better copy.

The rest of the cert is very clear, I don’t  think a request for a better copy is likely to help but I’ll try.

The marriage is what I am trying to find, but the son , Hugh Fraser, whose death certificate this is was born about 1819 possibly in Co. Antrim .  Ireland anyway, and I am  fairly confident it is Northern Ireland.  I don’t know of any other children as I haven’t managed to see a baptism c 1819 for Hugh, let alone any siblings.  I find I am flailing  around with the Irish stuff,    I am thinking this might be in the too hard basket.

Possibly a long shot......but my initial thought was, could it be:

McCrink

My McCrink were from Ballynahatten, Kilkeel, Co. Down (and Hugh was fairly common amongst them too).

McCrink,  I haven’t heard of that name either, however I’ve just run that past my step mother (whose family this is) and she thinks she may have heard it mentioned at some point, 

Thank you all, they are all versions I hadn’t thought of so have a little more direction for my searches,

Hello -

I would read that as Macevil, a variant of McEvilly which is not uncommon in County Mayo.

craggagh.

I had thought it was Macevil -- but I just couldn't imagine anyone having such a surname.

(Having said that there are at least 2 children on the 1837-1915 birth registers with a forename of Murder --- think it should probably be Murdo!)
