She's in the FreeBMD index as Kerenhappach Howarth, Oct-Dec 1843, Bolton, Vol 21 p108. The family are in Sharples in the 1841 census. (I've never met the name anywhere before, but apparently it's biblical, one of the daughters of Job.) -- David Hartley

I wasn't familiar with the name when I first came across it in the IGI. When I saw someone using it in their e-mail address, I thought/hoped there was a connection to my own Kerenhappach. No such luck, but she did share with me the origin of the name. Best wishes, Lynne

Aha, so it's a Bible name? I came acrossed this name here on the other side of the big pond. I thought "this has got to be a typo"..nope, other's in the same family carried that name too.
