He's not the missing Ferchan, nor the possible second Francis born to them.

He could be the son of John and therefore grandson of Finlay and Catherine.

Added: An online tree has the missing Ferchan's death in 1889 age 68. I can't find a record of it.

Son John (15) b c1824

Good thinking. I hadn't even thought of that. A quick google search told me that the name was originally a derivative for Ann(e).

Agnes/Nancy are interchangeable & may at times be Nan/Ann
