Re: How Common Is Your Surname?

I traced both our families, both sides, back to the 1850's, gets difficult as it spreads out.
When I got my new PC it didn't transfer across, told I might recover it but never tried. I certainly don't fancy starting from scratch again.
Interesting the curious bits of history you pick up. The woman who had two girls within a year and a half, both with the same name. Check Deaths- the first one died just a couple of months old. Sad.
The very proper Victorian lady who had several children but the first one was christened with her maiden name?? Bet that caused a stir but it didn't stop her getting married!
