I descend from the ROBBINS family of Sutterton (also spelt ROBBIN, ROBIN, ROBINS etc) and in one generation there is a collection of unusual forenames. Thomas ROBBINS married Anne MARSHALL in 1762, and their children, all baptised in Sutterton, were: Marshall George 1763 Sabra 1765 (my ancestor) Marshall George 1766 Deighton/Deeton 1767 Marshall George 1769 Sempronius 1772 Julius Caesar 1775 Zadoc 1778 Nightingale Ittai 1782 The 3 Marshall Georges are easy enough to understand as the Thomas ROBBINS' father's name was George and his wife's maiden name Marshall, and the Deighton/Deeton may come from his grandmother's maiden name, but I'm not sure why the other names were chosen.

Oh, how funny...you have me in stitches! -Someone once told me they knew of an Orson Cart! -My mother-in-law's best friend at school in Melton, was Rose Cottage -The Premier of SA in the 1960s was Steele Hall, whom my uncle referred to as Tin Shed. Mine is not near as hilarious and (your pardon) from across the border in the neighbouring county to your east...Blanchflower(Lancelot)Brett. I've often wondered if Lancelot was a short form/nickname for Blanchflower or vice versa or what? Linda B.C. Canada

And the name means "horn of eye shadow" or "mascara"! On 4 March 2012 06:10, elaine westaway <laneywest1960@yahoo.com> wrote: > the best biblical name n my family is kerenhappuck who was apparently the > daughter of Job > >

Hi, I would like some help in searching for record(s) of land/property transfers/sales or leases in Anwick about 1700. The property would have been for use/rent by William Rilott. William raised two families in Anwick, from 1702 to 1730+, totaling 9 children, of which only one died shortly after birth, so I suspect that William was living in a substantial dwelling place. Would there be any property Tax records? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. John.

Hello All I have several Biblical names among my ancestors, most of whom were Methodist. Here are some: Elijah, Elisha (and we have a female Elisha near us in this area now), Jesse and Jessie, Levi, Josiah, Amos, Isaac, Ephraim, Elam. Some are Biblical and still used in more recent times: John, Joseph, David, James, Thomas, Matthew, Luke, Paul, Samuel, Benjamin, Ruth, Sarah, Mary, Rebecca, Jessica, Esther, Hannah. Also some Greek: Jason, Helen, Diana, Phoebe. Hope I'm correct with these. There may be more but some I'm not sure they are Biblical and not enough time to check the concordance.

Mine are also not from Lincs although they are allied to my Lincs family - does that count? Grin! Dimples Lee married either Gilbert or Carl Cheek in California (I can't remember which, so I'll have to wait until next month when the 1940 census comes out). They had insurance with the company my mother worked for when I was in 4th grade and we chuckled at how she must have been teased as we were recycling their index card (we used a bleach solution to remove the ink so the cards could be reused and this is a MAJOR insurance company already recycling in 1964!). Little did my mother know this Cheek family was related to her Tynes family which became allied to my Lincolnshire Winter family when George William Winter married Willene Marie Jones (Sarah Tynes was her great grandmother), my grandparents, making Dimples Cheek her very distant 3rd cousin.

My Dad's name was Nelsa - it was a name my grandmother made up so she could name him after his Aunt Nellie. Maybe scottish way of feminising a name - my grandmother was of Scottish/Nova Scotian descent. My Dad was always known as Toot - a nickname also bestowed on him by his mother - supposedly because he was so little when he was born that she could hold him in one hand.Funnily enough, when Dad died and the funeral people put in a notice about Nelsa Goodson's funeral - some people didn't even know that was his real name.Jan , 3 Mar 2012 23:34:09 +0000 > Subject: Re: [LIN] March theme > > > > My 3rd cousin 5 times removed (!!) married Original Skepper 1st June 1813 at Fiskerton, their 12th child was called Original as was Original juniors 7th child.

I hope I'm not violating her privacy, but I had classes with a young woman in college who had a boy's name.  William Brian Boyd the 3rd.  Her older brother was William Brian Boyd the 2nd and the younger brother was No. 4.  I know, sounds like an American boxing champ.  I always wondered if they just called out numbers at home when they wanted someone's attention.     She was known to us as "Willie".  I always thought her parents a bit cruel to play this joke on her.  I think of her whenever I hear Johnny Cash sing "My name is Sue".  Now WIllie didn't have any problems with her name, but she did have trouble signing up for Physical Education classes that were for women only.     Some forty years later I had a student in a class I taught who was the child of Hippies from the 1960s.. His name was "Rainbow".  No last name.  He showed me his driver's license to prove it.  When he registered on the school's computer system, it refused a person with only one name, so he did what normally worked with recalcitrant computers, he registered as "A. Rainbow".     When I spoke with one of our registrants about the computer program, she informed me that they also had a 30-character limitation on the last name and that caused problems for some Cambodian students as well as a few Italian surnamed students.    Lou
