Yes, you could be right.

No. But if it's between Fassag and Lochleter it must be part of the place name - maybe a creative spelling of the Gaelic version of Chapel?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
I researched Finlay m Isobel McLennan & found extensive info. Their 3 sons migrated to Victoria, Aus, and bought vast acreages, became prominent citizens & William was in local government. I even read their wills & testaments. However, I finally found Finlay's death record & his father was William MacDonald, not the Finlay I wanted.

The Finlay m Grace Fraser was the son of Donald McDonald.

It's getting frustrating, but I will continue. There were many Finlay McDonalds in Nova Scotia, but I haven't had much luck with emigration records yet.
