What is this name please?
« on: Thursday 25 June 15 20:00 BST (UK) »
A nice boring list of names - James, Jean, James, Ann, Andrew. But what on earth is the name of the six-year-old son in this family in Dundee in 1861?

I have the 1871 census, and I know what I think it says, but I don't want to pre-judge it here.

He vanishes from the records after 1871.
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.

Phannel is a surname. Maybe a maiden name from further back?
