Re: Unusual name choices
Sometimes I think folks need to think outside the box. I cannot sit here longer and read this thread. It's a slang usage of a nice word to say the least....and someone's name. So lets just get on

Re: Unusual name choices
My sister was born in 1953 and she was called Gay which was quite a common christian name in use. Unfortunately, by the early 1970s (in Australia) the word had taken on a new meaning and she was so

Re: Unusual name choices
Reminds me of the song, No Milk Today, by Herman's Hermits from the 60's. A big hit at the time. In the song there is the line "The company was gay"
I am sure they meant happy, merry, cheerful

Re: Unusual name choices
Why not? It's only in the last few decades that the word 'gay' has shifted its meaning to a synonym for 'homosexual'. When I was a child it meant happy, merry, cheerful, joyful, playful etc.

Re: Marriage record - Mull
Definitely not Inveraray - not enough letters and if it had been it would have said 'in the parish of ...'
I read it as Inivey, so it's almost certainly Inivea.

Re: Marriage record - Mull
If you tap on the record on the page it enlargers. The words I think, are Inverary and I think the other word is proved marriage.
