Farrell Could it have been that Mary Adams was his Gt Aunt? Because I would refer to Gt Uncle Alex and Wm Clarke, in conversation, as Uncle Wm etc, But they were my mother's Paternal Uncles, so often spoken of by her, that I also called them Uncle when discussing them with family. I still do when speaking to my sister or cousins about them. My mother's brother William was always Uncle Willie. So that is worth considering because my Mother also came from Magheracross.
