Family History Beginners Board / Spelling of name
« on: Monday 09 April 07 22:45 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find who the parents of my Great-Grandmother, Janet Murray McVey were.
According to her death registration, she was born abt 1826 in Glasgow, Scotland
The only record I could find in the IGI is a
Janet Morah McVey, b-29 Jun 1825 in Glasgow.

Would anyone know if the name Morah is possibly Gaelic for Murray??

Thanks, Tony

Family History Beginners Board / Question About Records
« on: Wednesday 12 January 05 02:35 GMT (UK)  »
I have come across a possible family connection but I am confused about the info I found. All info is from the LDS, IGI records.
I am hoping someone can shed some light on my confusion.
In the Thomsen info, there is obviously some errors in the year of Christening.
Except for the spelling of Thomson/Thomsen and the wife's name being Isabel Aiston and Janet Airston, all other info appears to match.
The question I have, is it possible these two families are one and the same?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks, Tony
