I am hoping someone can help with a more reasonable, realistic spelling of this surname. I have found no matches in 1921 census, where it should be.
I assume the agent who put it into the death record was so far off that Ancestry cannot find a reasonable match either.
Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Hi,

I had a look at the entry on ancestry.ca that referred to this surname and I thought it looks more like Nawghick.

This surname was impossible to find so I tried searching ancestry.ca for Nawg* and Nagw*.

I looked through the 1921 census to see if anything would be remotely close and came up with the following that could be entertained in your search - Nahwaieglik (found in 1921 Census, Algoma East, Sub-district 84, first pages for Sucker Lake; and Nahwaikezhik. Also found this possibility in the 1911 Canada Census - Nahwikeghik.

Good Luck,
Jane (not related or researching these families)

Thank you for the help.
I have tracked other surnames that changed spelling every record but nothing this tough.
I may let this one sit a while and look for another approach.
Thanks again for your time.
