I have so many names on the tree, but I think this is one of mine - if not it stood out as it was a first name.

I'll try to go back and have a look but can't say when, though I will keep it in mind.
Kind regards

John Golden Jeffels b.1785 Whitby is my wifes 5x great grandfather. The name still makes me chuckle as does the Jeffels surname.
