They are very rare names especially in Ireland so very different to using John Joseph which are very popular the format of using the names Martha Matilda not that hard to understand is what i was questioning her parents could not read or write so where not exacrly looking up baby name books.

My great great grand mother was called the double barrel first names  Martha Matilda she was born in 1846 in Ireland the name was very rare in the area which I find strange why her parents who were very poor Roman Catholic at the time used the name Martha Matilda instead of the usual Irish names. I have done a google and it would appear that using the format Martha Matilda together was very popular in parts of the UK and perhaps the US and further afield. I would like understand why this double barrel format was popular as might help me understand how my 3rd great grand parents might have decided to use it.

Hi I was wondering could someone look up the address 10 Shadwell Street, Liverpool in the 1901 Census please.

Hi Blue thanks was looking at the family tree and even the owner admits in notes on the tree that records suggested he was from Newmarket, Cork but he(John) claimed to be from Tipperary

Hi Blue70 many thanks again I have just sent a message on ancestry to the owner of the family tree that has the John you mentioned.
