One of my great great etc uncle's was baptised 'Christmas Lincoln'. And a descendant's middle name (female), is Peppermint. Adorable!

Just come across a daughters name of Richmal, in the 1851 census.

Trying to establish it as a birth name.

Glasscock, in my trundling through Essex registers I have found loads of them, but it seems by 1901 the name may have died out as there was only about 200 of them. Imagine the taunts you would get at school with a name like that now, lol.

I loved the "Just William" books - still do!  Did you know there are loads of them on you tube?
