Dear Pauline, Your research is back in a time when families moved very little during their lifetimes. Even later than that many of my ancestors married brothers or sisters and named their children after them. My suggestion is that there are two families here. Can you find a death record/gravestone which may enlighten you as to which parents belong to your line.

Hi List As Pauline suggests ,two families may be involved here , one way is to find other baptimns to these names , and even as far as marriages, that way you can see which way both couples are going if any , I at first thought that the second dates are death dates , but unless they changed to middle names at a death , stump me. In those days I think they only used one book for everything, till certain Laws arrived. gary hodge Neil Hearn wrote: > Dear Pauline, > Your research is back in a time when families moved very > little during their lifetimes.
