hi guys
John Gadget Arranroots and Daval..................
I have been wondering about all these children with the same name, 2 Williams 2 Betties etc....
with just 2 years between could it just be a duplication/mistake?
I know I said I will talk to Arran on Wednesday but I was just looking over all the iformation I have and it seems a bit strange regarding the  names  to have 2 children with the same names and in a space of 2 years........................
just blabbing.......................................
;-)

I'm just going back to SP/familysearch but I think that it was more infant deaths (high infant mortality in those days)  and naming children with the same names rather than any errors in the register.

hi Gadget
thank you again
I realise that there was high infant mortality in those days, but I think that its  a bit weird that they called the new child with the same name as one who had died previously.
did they really do that Gadget?
cant wait til Wednesday to talk to Arran.
regards

Hi Elaine

Yes, it was very common to name children after deceased siblings.  It puzzled me at first, when I thought my gt grandfather was older than he said he was - but then we found an ealier birth and death for a brother with the same name.

The traditional naming pattern was thus carried on to the next generation.

Say hi to the AHM folk for me!

Kind regards, Arranroots  Wink
