Well, going backwards, have gone well back with Claridges, no odd names, and just looking now at Southgates 1851, none there either so far, nothing very biblical-sounding and no Jacobs in the family...yet  :-\

Hi Patrish,

I couldn't believe it at first  :o until I saw another rellie  with a middle name of Captain. ::)  It confused the transcriber though ..one put Manchip?  on another record, illegible but it was obviously Manship.

I still can't fathom out Ferinda though, and so far haven't seen it used in any other family.......any ideas anyone?

My dear hubby's Nanna was Ocea as was one of her grand daughters - came from a sea-faring family.
On my side, funniest name I came across was the sailor who was witness on my great Grandmother's mge cert - which turned out to be a bigamist mge but she was innocent party - His name?  Sydney Harbour.
I burst out laughing in the library when I found it!
