Place Name Query
« on: Thursday 21 April 05 12:12 BST (UK) »
I have a entry from the 1901 Scottish census and can not make out the birthplace of the woman it looks like Edenkellie,Morayshire could someone tell if this spelling is correct and where it is Scotland.

Many thanks

Hi Ypphic,

Welcome to RootsChat!

We usually see this parish spelt as Edinkillie - it lies east of Inverness and south of Forres
Quote
A scattered hamlet in a parish of the same name in Moray, Edinkillie lies on the River Divie, 8 miles (13 km) south of Forres. Notable are the viaduct which once conveyed the railway over the River Divie and Edinkillie Church.
About 600 hits come up if you "Google" it.

Hope that helps.
