Hi Frances. Over 4-5 years of researching the CORKILL name, I've seen at least 6 variations on the spelling of the name. Even in my great-grandmother's records, it is spelled differently.

When I offered the different spellings on the message last week, I think one of the spellings .. was misunderstood. It started Coc ... ill. That is a true surname which I've seen in my research.

The others are CORKHILL, CORNHILL, CORKELL, CORKLE, etc.

And the original name was MacCORQUODALE (sp??), which is sometimes seen as McCORKELL, etc.
