Galway / Another name for Luke perhaps?
« on: Wednesday 30 May 12 20:09 BST (UK) »
My Co Mayo ancestors followed the usual child naming process - very helpful.
My Co Galway ancestors, not so much! From my GGs (John Farrell m. Mary Roche) death cert. I know my GGGs were Luke Farrell and Ellen Doyle. I have not found one single Luke in the 4 generations since.
Was there a notable nickname for Luke? It just seem so strange there haven't even been any middle names of Luke, including all of John's childrens families. Seems very odd as our John's children ALL have plenty of John's and Mary's AND several names from Mary's Roche side of the family......NO Lukes anywhere to be seen. Any ideas?
