• Notes

  Margaret's name on her husband's death certificate is recorded as "Meiklewhass". The IGI gives her name at her marriage as "Mcilquham". The first element would appear to be authentically "Mac Ghille" (which usually gets abbreviated to "Macill") and was later corrupted to Meikle, which is Scots for "big" but is pronounced nearly identically to the Gaelic "Mac Ghille" which means "son of the servant of...." The second is probably correctly "Quha__". It's uncertain whether the IGI has misread the final consonant as an 'm' instead of 'ss' or whether the death certificate is incorrect or misread.
