Hello, Has anyone come across a family member with the first name of Yorrick? I have discovered such a person who was born in India around 1797. From my research it appears to be a very uncommon name. I'd be interested to hear from listsers as to why a father with the "sensible" name of George, whose father was Alexander, whose brothers were Charles and William, whose uncles were Francis and James and George, would name his son "Yorrick." Yorrick's mother was an Indian lady and that's about all that is known about her--other than the pet names George gave to her. The two were not married and George's father Alexander was not happy about the attachment between the two.. Best, Frances
