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.
