Mind you, I guess the number of names to choose from was smaller, with no Dweezle's or Apple Blossom"s! I feel for the genealogists of the future.
True ... but they had plenty of names in use then which have fallen out of favour now. I have an ancestor called Nebuchadnezzar ... but I doubt we'll see any more of them in the family line!!
As for feeling for future genealogists ... why?? Surely it's the singular names that help us to follow the correct line with confidence, no matter where it leads us!

I mean, come on! How difficult is it to follow what has happened in this family from these entries??? You don't even need to double-check the occupations (which probably differ on an annual basis anyway!!)
