Mary Ann Mary Ann there's so many of them one generation after another and it's getting me all confuddled :( Lyn x

Yes like so many others James Mary Mary Ann Thomas William Elizabeth thank goodness for Leonidus Polyibus Archer he broke the mould LOL Marie Kent

I've got several generations of Francis on one line plus a lot of Edwards on another. I also have a line of Jonathans. William and Thomas turn up a lot but it isn't as bad as my husband who has 18 men on his tree called William Gill. Sorting that lot out was a nightmare. His grandfather had done a lot of that bit of the tree using parish records about 50 years ago but we found a small muddle in one spot when we put it all on computer. That made it clearer that a couple of the Williams had been confused. That's without adding a lot of the more recent lines downwards and the name is still being used in the family. Elizabeth is popular on all the lines we have. I have several Janes too. My short run of Ralphs did help sort out one line and I've got useful groups of Isaac and Jeremiah. Sue

for the male line its james ,john ,herbert and william...for the female line its mary/maria, elizabeth and ann....mrs presley, i've also got a couple of kezia,s lovely name, wonder were it came from...iris

Of course, all way though. on Brown's side, Robert and Michael are the common ones, on lowsons Joseph, Robert, George and Richard all way back to 1626.
