This is interesting. I have over 1,000 names on my Ostle file and there is only ONE Janet; she was a Janet Bell born in 1925 her mother being an Ostle. I looked through Joan Dunmore's Gedcom of her ancestors, mostly Harrisons and Wilkiinsons from Holm Cultram, there is only one Janet Wilkinson and none in the Harrisons. Was this name limited to families with Scottish connections until recently? When I was a lad in Aspatria we had a Weather House (Man comes out when wet, lady when fine). My grandmother always referred to it as "The Janet & Robin" -- was this common usage? Peter Ostle visit the family websites at www.ostle.ca
