Title: help with place-name, please
Post by: matth364 on Friday 11 November 16 21:36 GMT (UK)

I have a note about an ancestor that lists a place of residence as "Dumdal" or Dumdahl" Inverness.
Anyone ever heard of it?  My ancestor mostly lived in the Knockando-Cromdale area.  Thanks.

Hi, matth364,

Just wondering if it’s possible that the Dumda[h]l in your note is based on a mis-transcription of Cromdale, sometimes spelt Cromdail or even Cromdal in old documents.
