| MALLYGONSIKE | Mallygonsike Mallygonsike Mallygonsike Mally-go-Sick |
Gavin Thomson Oc. [Occupier] r. Kirkland, Cashier of Monkland Iron & Steel Co. R. Stewart Colliery Manager J. Webster Factor |
012.03 | A good cottage occupied by one of the Monkland Iron & Steel Co.'s Managers. The spelling of this name is not much known but the mode given by the three first authorities is what is used by most intelligent persons, although it is commonly called "Mulligansike". The Factor states that " Mallygonsike" as it is spelt at present, but that it should be Mally-go-sick from a story that a woman named Molly went sick about the place. The name is not identified with the stream passing near it, as a Sike. There is a house south of this on the west side of the T. P. [Turnpike] Road, which bears the name. |
