Paula,

The name William Williams is banned from RC - he causes me many a headache and sleepless night - my great grandfather William Williams is on the 1891 census in Durham - born WALES - talk about a needle in a haystack.  Unfortunatly he dies in 1895 and I can't trace him any further back...

You have my sympathy, Legs, perhaps you should have a swear box for William Williams, the same as someone else has for the name Relf.
Every time someone mentions the name they have to pay a fine  ;D

See I don't know anything about Welsh names.  My great-great aunt married a William Williams. I remember seeing it on a family tree and thinking it was an odd name.  It's very common?

ETA: Sorry I have no money to pay the fine.  Here's a fun smiley instead ->  :o
