From north Wiltshire and south Gloucestershire between 1790 and 1825, I have Junia Fishlock and his son Worthy and a nephew, Elver.   Also Lot Milliner who's mother, Mary, was Elver's sister and who's wife NEVER looked back.

Also from Sherston, Wiltshire, 3 generations of Lancelot Powell from 1640 to 1707

Fairly uncommon, but certainly long is
Louisa Benedicta Selina Calideness Postlethwaite.
I guess she didn't give many autographs!

A great aunt of mine married Andrew Gold and they christened one of their sons after her brothers so the poor soul was lumbered with Nathaniel Daniel Isaac Oman Gold. They weren't even very religious  - Church of Scotland not Jewish either!
 In a wee place like Carluke his life must have been a misery.  ???

Luckily for her it's a mistake in transcription and is supposed to be Fanny Nash.  ;D
