hello gilj

I think your 'tohel' could be a mis-transcription. This is the actual image and the 'T' for tohel looks like a 'J' but somone has read it wrong! I once found a Fitz Sparrow mis-transcribed as Tity Sparrow! - Good old ancestry

I actually went to school with someone called Alan Allen.   ???

The only unusual names in my tree belong to the sons of two coalmining brothers in Derbyshire.

Israel and Septimus

When I was living in London I knew a boy called Richard Richards ! Can't think of any more double-ups.

How about Arkless Pratt...

Arkless came in as a wife's maiden name but then became a forename....
