Hi there, I wonder if any Scottish collectors know anything about the name Maloch.
I've not had much success other than to find that in the 19th C. There were Gunmakers with this name, some with two L's, both in Stirling (Maloch Michie and Crocket - Andrew Malloch ) and in Perth (P.D.Malloch Still there).
Two of the people with the names spelled differently are shown at the same address in Stirling at the same time (King Street 1865) so I imagine it's the same family.
The problem I have is that when I look closely at the 'Maloch' engraved on my lockplate it possibly has a tiny 'C' between the M and The C making it McAloch which is a name that I can not find any record of.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone here has seen this variation of the name.
Thanks, Mel.
