Mchalaron?????

Find the death certificate and you will get a second chance to see it there. It will also be on the birth certificates of any other children in the family.

I only know of one child and it's his marriage extract (1861) I've taken it from.  His death extract only shows his father's name.  He's living in Scotland but census info suggests he was born Londonderry, Ireland around 1821.  I'm fairly useless when it comes to researching Irish records  :( 

Thanks anyway GR2...Mchalaron could be the answer.
