I have William Williams, Thomas Thomas, Edward Edwards, Thomas Thompson, the 1st three being Welsh and very confusing.  I also have 5 generations of Thomas Neilson's in my Scottish line which confuse me even more!  :)

Happens a lot in my Welsh side-
Hugh Hughes, Griffith Griffiths, William Williams etc.
It's actually painfully difficult researching my Welsh side because there only seems to be about 8 surnames in the whole of Wales.  ::) In my research experience anyway.   ;D

Hi Folks
I am surprised Steve hasn't mentioned our Stephen Stevenson or his son Stephen!!! Mind you my real names not that much different as I am descended from them!!! AND if Steve dares to tell she will be in BIG BIG trouble!!!!
Wot a strange family I am from - just glad I broke the pattern and gave my 2 children simple names!!

Any guesses will be denied vigorously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy days - saz x
