Be glad you don't have any Welsh, Bob...
Because is you had, it's only a matter of time before you get the likes of Thomas Thomas, or William Williams, son of William Williams...
I'm lucky, so far I only have David John...and he was bad enough....there were dozens of him to choose from...and perversly, a good handful of them married girls called Sarah at about the right time... :D

Imaging having research in a country with a dodgy alphabet. Such as Russia, Japan or something like that!

Mainly southern England and west Wales - see list.   Surprisingly although there are many Joneses, including the glorious Jones marriage certificate, where ALL including both bride and groom's side, minister, witnesses and even the Registrar were named Jones, my greaest problem has been finding the forebears of Jane Trow, b. 1836 in Berriew, montgomeryshire, father Joseph Trow.

ANY help appreciated.   It's not only the Smith and Jones etc that can be difficult.
