Hello -

The only name I can think of ending in 'imer' is Eimer.

craggagh.

I've not heard that name before, craggagh, but it certainly is a possibility. Thanks.
The problem with those middle letters is that they could be u, i, n, m, w, v or r.
It's frustrating that the only clue to another possible Doyle relative is illegible - sigh  :-\

Looking at names of Dutch origin, Wiemer could theoretically be a contender:

I mentioned Wimer earlier; it looks as though that does indeed occasionally crop up as a first name, as does Wimar:

I would love to know what it really says!  :D
