I have come across a name which is one I've not
heard of before. Her christian name is Uniam. Full
name Uniam Carnegie Bogue. Anyone else heard
of it?

Emma

Where?
where have you come across it?
Free BMD doesn't pick up on the name at all.

if its on census it couldbe a mis-spelling.

tell us more .... who what where & when

Hi Penny,
She married John Dickie Florence in Aberdeen in 1915.
I have the marriage cert. which is clear to read at the top
of the page. I am having difficulty reading her fathers
first name, mother Margaret. Any help with that info?

Emma

Just doing a bit of Googling the name seems to appear as a surname quite a lot, especially in Canada - possibly French origins?

Are you certain it isn't a surname? Many countries put the surname first, then christian name afterwards

Reading your last post which crossed with mine, perhaps she was named after an ancestor who had the surname Uniam?

Hi IGP not according to marriage cert. from SP.

Emma

Never thought of that IGP. tried google but got nowhere
as a first name.

Emma

goodness Emma, bit of a mouthful isn't it?

Fathers name Abercrombie Bogue, mother Margaret Ritchie.
Emma

Hi Ann trust me to get it.

Emmax

just had look on internet.

Hi Sue thank you for that will have a look, Also IGP
and Penny if you come across it anytime please
let me know. Thanks for your time.

Does his occupation and her age tie up with the marriage cert?

Hi Potty everything fits in as she was b1894 and her father
b1862 and mother b 1865. Just found out that father was from Fraserburgh. Wonder why her name was Uniam Carnegie
Bogue on marriage cert. Thank you for your help.

Emma

Hi Joan, I did notice a few lakes with the same name but
thought Eskimo name. Didn't notice Indian Lake and have
not looked to see if Indian connections etc.Father was a Cooper
but she could have been named after a relative or ancestor as
IGP suggested. Thanks Joan for you help.

Emmax

Will have a look Joan.
Emmax

It will not let me in either being updated or
discontinued, but thanks anyway Joan
for your time.

There is a birth on Scotlandspeople in Fraserburgh in 1893 for a Unian Carnegie Bogue - don't have any credits to view it.

Thanks Potty will take a look thats another spelling
of the name, I found one Uniann.

Trying to trace Abercrombie backwards to see if there is a connection to the name, found a baptism on the IGI, mother Margaret Borgue, no father.

Think this is him in 1871 as there is a marriage for a George Davidson to Barbara Borgue in Fraserburgh in 1856:
