Hugh/Ewan
In Response To: Re: McCarthy/McCart ()

Sorry to sidetrack Jean's thread, but I'm interested in the "Hugh is sometimes written as Ewan" bit, which I've seen mentioned a number of times over the months. I've got a Hugh in censuses for whom I can find no baptism, but I haven't got any Ewans either. I always imagined Ewan to be a variation of John. Can you tell me more?
