I hope that someone out there might be able to throw some light on a question I have. I recently was given several documents that have my 4x Great Gandfathers name on them, just in front of his name is the word "Girr". So the document reads: Girr Patrick Long. And yes I'm sure it is spelt "G I R R". Has anyone seen this before. I have been told Patrick might have a Officer in the Military. I have also been told he was Scot/Irish. Thanks for any help.

I went to www.google.com and typed in "G I R R" exactly like this and trains came up. Lots of pages about trains.
