It happened twice to the same man

John Cock b 1694, married Elizabeth Cocke who died, then Mary Cock

Later , when the family is now called Cocks, my mother's uncle and godfather Richard  Bond Cocks married Sarah Cocks

Hi,

Old message, but I recall my father pointing out a house in Waikanae, NZ, in which lived a doctor whose surname was Doctor, who had married a nurse whose surname was Nurse....

An ancestor of mine Mary Borthwick married an Adam Borthwick.   Their fathers names were both Adam Borthwick,  Mary died at an early age,  so Adam married her sister.  ....    I am almost 100% sure their grandfathers names were Adam.     Now researching to see if they came from the same part of Mid Lothian, Scotland.    Looking forward to finding out.

Hi

I have a James Smyth who married a Ann Smyth i am sure the were related probably cousins as Anns two sisters Rebeca Smyth and Eliza Smyth married off most of their children too each other one pair being my gt. grandfather and gt. grandmother i'm surprised by the amount of inbreeding that my family are quite normal although when i told my dad about all this he just refused to believe it all which made me laugh then he kept trying to justify it all which made me laugh even more

I went out for some time with a lovely chap with the same surname as me AND exactly the same date of birth!

Just as well it did not end in marriage as I can imagine endless complications with the current banks/government bureaucracy.

I have recently come aross a variation of same surnames, in fact opposites,
John TROW married  Eileen WORT.
I suspect there aren't too many of those, or are there?

My parents had the same surname and so far they aren't related. It has caused my mum problems all her married life and now she's in her 80s it's even worse, "no dear, your maiden name, the name before you were married"
