HI Janet, Yes - I agree too about spelling - but Daryl and I each have a Dugald/Dougall McCorkindale - his born 1809, mine 1820 - to the same name parents - Archibald McCorkindale and Margaret McEachern. Each of us has her/his Dugald/Dougall marrying different people - his went to Oz and mine stayed in Argyll as a mariner. I am sure fine toothcombing of the OPRs will clarify and there may possibly have been two Archd McCorkindales married to two Mgt McEacherns but this is what we are trying to sort out. Maybe a first-double-cousin marriage? Cheers, Mary >I am sure someone will agree that spelling doesn't mean too much in >research.
