In the 1880 census a female ancestor appears as Himois PRATT. Pratt would have been her married name...husband was
John PRATT. Children all have names I am more used to seeing like
Margaret and
Elizabeth. All born in
Ireland. Family tradition holds that
John Pratt's wife was
Anna MACDONALD. Is anyone familiar with the name Himois or can anyone think, if it was a bad transcription, what the original name might have been or how it might be pronounced? Could Himois sound like
Anna somehow?
