Find Ancestors

Many thanks to all those kind people who helped me track down the origin of the name Monarch ,found in my mother's family name; it has been extremely useful. Unfortunately I did not realise how to access the info., until Ann/Patricia put me straight,
Best wishes
Julie Davidson

I have sent a message to Juliet suggesting she return to this thread and actually post something!! We'll see

Ann

I totally agree about the need for GR to be more helpful.........but it's not going to happen.............

Perhaps Juliet has seen the info, but has chosen not to offer any feedback

I sent her a pm - she couldnlt find the thread!!! I explained in minute detail and in the end she found it, but why she hasn't turned up here I have no idea

This is so often a problem, GR should do something about helping people to find their postings

Ann

I wonder why she has'nt replied??????????

Has anyone sent her a pm?

Mel

nudging again in the hope that Juliet can find it!!!!!

The Monach Isles
BEYOND THE Sound of Monach, in the Outer Hebrides, roughly 4½ miles to the south-west of the Rudha Mòr, a headland in the Paible district of North Uist (of which Inverness-shire parish it forms a part), lies that cluster of five islands known as the Monach Isles, identified as Heiskeir by M. Martin, Gent., in his unrivalled account of the Western Isles, based upon such personal observations and investigations as he made during his memorable tour of them in 1695. Indeed, the natives of these parts- of the Uists and Benbecula - usually refer to them collectively as Heiskeir, which explains why this alternative name is also entered against them on most maps of this region. According to more than one place-names authority, Heiskeir is derived from the Norse, hellu-sker, denoting a flat reef or skerry. This origin seems more akin to the name by which the group was known in the 16th century than to the word, Heiskeir, as usually spelt nowadays. Dean Monro, in his Descriptione of the Westerne Isles of Scotland callit Hybrides--the outcome of his having travelled through most of them in 1549--refers to the group as Helsker Nagaillon. Various modifications of this spelling are to be found in a number of subsequent works containing references to the Outer Hebrides.
