Regarding the name Mcelhoe, You will see it is a name that is uncommonly spelled, So considering the differences in nationalities and pronunciation and handwritings of the time period, It sometimes pay to spell it as the surname is sounded. I have numerous spellings of my surname with documentation to back them as being the same person. I first check a couple handy books and seen the spelling " McIlhoe", using an {I instead of an E} matching your names as it is sounded. I then did a quick search using Joyce's search engine and the spelling I had seen prior in a book and remembered I am sure you will find them. As for the LDS ANCESTRAL FILES, they are not always carved in stone material or as correct as one would like them to be, but may become useful if your in a jam and are trying to work out leads . I feel they don't always have good documentation when it is needed to back up as SOURCE documentation. I have enclosed the two links I believe you will find they are the line you are searching. The same would be as using the soundex system, White also being Whyte. Hopefully this will be of some use to you. Sincerely, Dee A.
