What Country is your research ?

[LouisaS]

Mine are from England , family from Cork, and one Gloucester one went to Canada, nothing exciting

Hi all, I'm rooting in the Irish Midlands, oh how I wish the Irish had been more inventive with their first names, it would have made life much simpler 

[PaulaToo]

Neli I sympathize. I have Welsh ancestors and they were about the same ... Thomas Thomas, son of Thomas Thomas ... I think they did it to confuse us.
What ever, you have come to the right place for help.
Good luck and Happy Hunting.

Haha Paula, it's Thomas for me too, Thomas and Mary in fact and they will keep marrying each other and then naming their own children the same again, argh!

[PaulaToo]

Think yourself lucky you haven't got any Denchfields!
They were English, but each father named his first son John, and the Johns either marry an Elizabeth or a Mary. One married a Mary and when she died he married an Elizabeth. Add to that the fact that there is nearly always three generations alive at the same time 
Thank goodness I could get to the register easily, it took some working out.
See you
Paula

EeK! I think  that would give me even more of a headache than the one I already have with my lot 

[PaulaToo]

Don't worry, you're in safe hands on this board

my research so far is based around dublin, ireland, but will undoubtedly (if indeed we ever find anything out) move across to scotland.

it's a proper puzzler

I imagine that when this thread was originally posted that researchers in Australia were probably not being considered.
