Here is some of my aka names in my family tree

Alexanderina or Alexina Cennie
Isabella Cybil, Iris or Bella, Bella is another name which gets added on to names
Mary Cissy
Margaret Peggy or Pearl

Will never be able to work out how the aka names came about.

Were Margaret and Mary ever interchangable?

My g,g, g grandfather and mother were Alexander Farquhar and Margaret Harper. However, in the first census (1861) after their apparent marriage and their first child's birth, they are listed as Alexr Farquhar and Mary. Could Mary be the same person as Margaret? I can't find a record of Margaret's death, her marriage to Alexander or Mary's marriage to Alexander.

I would appreciate any light anyone could shed!

James, thank you! I think you may be close to a genius if not a full-fledged one! I have signed up for the Farquhar forum on Yahoo and am waiting for approval! Thanks again!

Does the following group have Farquhars from Staxigoe. My g grandmother was a Farquhar from Staxigoe and her family lived at Elzy Cottage

[Mamie_2]

I have Farquhar's from Staxigoe on my database.

Eric Farquhar and Mary Davidson. I have them from 1841-1861 censuses.

'course we may have been in contact before as I do have a note that a Caroline is descended from David F. and Helen Bremner.

Helen's brother Benjamin married my great grandaunt Margaret Dunnet.

Is that you?

Caroline,

I'm not a member so cannot answer your question. I saw it whilst browsing and thought it worth passing on. It is a group however, not a message board / forum like this, and you would have to join to find out. I do expect that there will be some very proficient researchers (and helpful) so why not join and ask? Nothing to lose and its free.
