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  ;)

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.

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  :o
Thank goodness I could get to the register easily, it took some working out.
See you

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

here's the story: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=676727.new#new

it's a proper puzzler :)

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