Scotland / John Names
« on: Tuesday 08 February 05 20:21 GMT (UK) »
I have been researching an ancestor of ours who was known as John Names.He married in Co Roscommon Ireland circa 1850 and he is reputed to have come from Scotland some time previously.We do know that he was unschooled and so left no written record i.e family letters etc.Despite much research we have failed to find any "NAMES" families in Scotland. I wonder if anybody would know if this surname had any variations ? Even in Ireland he left no trail before he arrived in Roscommon which makes me suspect that he may have used another variation of his surname. Any suggestions gratefully received .
