Seeking advice about a name variant and how I might find out how to work out what it might actually be: 1792 James BOOG married Margaret *McHOUAT*, in Neilson. Marriage reg says they are both of that Parish. 1793 James BOOG Christened, father James BOOG, mother Margaret *McCULL* 1861 James BOAG dies, father James BOAG, mother Margaret *McCOLL* ** Other variants of the name I have come across (e.g. brothers and sisters): *McCAIL, McCOAL, McKIL* I found a Margaret McNAUGHT born about 1870 but she didn't marry James BOOG. I've pondered the idea of McCARTHUR b 1766 after a "suggestion" from Scotland's People. Any ideas gratefully received. With all my Scottish heritage, this is the first Mc... I have come across! Thanks Kate in Australia

Kate, I also have an interest in CRAIG and FULTON in Eaglesham. In the 1880's my great grandmother Jean Rankin Craig Millar (1834-1912) supposedly did some research on the Craigs in Eaglesham, back to Andrew Craig - father of James, Lilias, John, Andrew, and <Richard?>. Lilias may have married James Fulton o/a 30 April 1805 in Eaglesham. I'm descended from Lilias' brother James' son John Craig, father of Jean Rankin Craig Millar. Anything ring a bell? Hugh Longwill Cameron Millar ("Tim") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My interest in the BOOGs or BOAGs of Abbey (Paisley), and FULTON (of Eaglesham), CRAIG, JAMIESON (of Eaglesham) and YOUNG:

Hi Tim, and thanks for the info but, to be honest, I have no idea. I have explored the possibility that James CRAIG may be the father of Ann CRAIG, later BOAG. In the 1851 Census Ann BOAG (CRAIG) was born about 1799 in Kilmacolm. She died before civil registration so I can't confirm her parents. Ann CRAIG's daughter, Mary BOAG (1831) married John JAMIESON (1822) whose mother is Mary FULTON of Eaglesham. Mary FULTON's mother was Mary YOUNG and her father was John FULTON. I'm not sure if there is a connection between the FULTONs, CRAIGs and BOAGs, apart from the obvious. It could be pure coincidence that John JAMIESON ended up in the same area that his parents are from (he grew up in Dumfires), but then again he was a Commercial Traveller at the time of his death in 1879. John JAMIESON was a widower when he married Mary BOAG in 1856. (I say "area" but I have no idea about the location of Eaglesham to Abbey (Paisley)/Johnstone, and Kilmacolm........ It's all very confusing, complicated and convoluted.

Hi Kate, What about McQuat for McHouat? The old Scots pronunciation of McQuat would be McWhat.
