Hello again Linda,

Is it McFetrich or McFetridge?  Both spellings seem intertwined!

Sheelagh

So, your Rachel Gilmore McFetridge was named after her uncle’s wife. I have an old photo of a Margaret McFetridge with a niece which might be her but will take a while to find it. Possibly also an old snapshot taken in the field at Boveedy with a McClenaghan in it as well.
