Christian Names .......

Hi David

Never seen that on any extracted entry before.

I wonder if the entry for David Clark King 31 Jan 1872 was extended to cover, and legitimise his sister's birth and was accepted as a late registration by a kindly Registrar.
Would they have backdated a register entry ?

Love the name though. It sounds like a science fantasy name !

Russell

Hi Russell

Scots Law would indeed have automatically legitimated the birth of wee Janet Chalmers KING, given that her parents subsequently married, and were free to marry at the time of her birth !!

My frustration is quite simply that I can find her birth!!

Found these two surnames in the 1841 Census. GOURLLA and MAKEYOR Pity the person that's looking for them as they are surely misspelt.

When my mother was giving me bits and pieces of information on her family she mentioned that her Granny Brown had a son called COVENTRY from her second marriage. I thought she was just confused about the name but sure enough I found Coventry Brown (male). I've seen a few females named Coventry also.

Eureka, David - I think Ork is one of my husband's lot!

I'm not really focussing on them at present but when I saw your post all sorts of bells rang especially in view of the children's names.
I had found on Freecen the CLERK family in 1851 in Humbie, East Lothian with parents David & Janet (nee Chalmers - this found on son James' death registration) and children Orquhert, Jane & James (my husband's GGF) - the transcriber had put a query against Orquhert's forename! It's on my to-do list to look at the image sometime but it looks as though it may be correct.
I've just looked at Freecen again and in 1861 she (probably)appears in Stenton ELN aged 13 as OeR CLERK - italicised, presumably to show that the transcription was uncertain!

I've no clue as to where it came from and fortunately it doesn't seem to have persisted in the family - I think even my Tolkien-obsessed son would have drawn the line at a relative called Ork!

I'm trying very hard not to spend any more money on SP until I've sorted out all the records I already have but I'm tempted!

I've followed the discussions of this group for some time -since the old SP days - but only felt moved to join last week and lo & behold you've come up with some new info for me - it obviously pays to get involved! Many thanks!

Best wishes

Hi David,

One of my family has

"This information was generated from another entry that appears in this index. Look for another entry for this person."

on their IGI entry.

I have never found another entry for her.

Let me know if you want the record details.

Hi Janet

Great to hear

Anything more that this situation leads to will be of great interest to the DG.

Hi Christine

Did you ever contact FamilySearch.org to ask what this meant?

David

[pricech2]

Hi David,

No I never did anything except file the printout. My much more computer literate husband, who also "does" genealogy, did search the IGI site to see if he could find any other references or entries but didn't.

Hi Christine,

I also came across an entry containing this statement on the IGI. In my case it was because she had a twin, so the other entry had all the same info apart from the first name. I know this might not be the case for you but thought I'd tell you anyway .

Cheers,

Hi Folks,
Has anybody came across Ever used as a pet name or shortened form of Oliver.
One of my ancestors was named Ever on a Census return and searches for events for Ever were non productive until it dawned.
His grandfather was named Oliver and that maybe Ever was a form of the name, and so it proved as I've came across it again in the same branch of the family. They came from Northern Ireland so maybe the shortening of the name was peculiar to there or maybe it was just a family thing.
Regards,
Gordie
