Need help with 1720's crofting site name near New Deer
« on: Tuesday 24 December 24 03:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. I'm looking for the crofting site name that looks like it starts with Ach or Aut? It's near to New Deer in about 1720. I included two examples of it from the same doc. James Dalgarno is the top one i'm interested in but the lower George Walker seems to be from the same place.

Cheers

There appear to be a number of properties beginning with Ach on this 1747-55 Military Map?

I was thinking it might be one of the many Auch's.

Aucheoch or similar. Can't quite place it.

I think it starts with “Ach”. It has a “t” in it, and possibly finishes with a “y”, or “g”.

If I could see a d I keep thinking it might be the earlier name of New Deer  -  Auchreddie :-\

maybe Auchmunziel, spelled here Achmunzel (with el in superscript)

I agree with Zefiro although I'd suggest the superscript is ll.

It is understood that ea or ie or similar has been contracted before the ll.

Definitely Achmunz[ie]ll. It is now usually written Auchmunziel. You pronounce it Ach'mingl.
