Can anyone tell me if the name FARQUAR is pronounced FERCHER or similar in Scotland. I have a Farquar (Christian name) whose son was christened Fercher, and wondered if it was the same name spellled phonetically. Thanks for any help Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Victoria Australia What's your story? Wordweavers Weaving your memories Weaving your stories http://www.wordweavers.net

Hi Beryl In my tree FARQUHAR has been spelled many different ways other than FARQUAR, FERCHER, FORKER. FORGUHAR, FORQUHAR, and probably many others. Many times names were spelled phonetically on birth and death certificates as well as census.
