I wonder if anyone else noticed in 1901 that there were eight brides with the name Lena, also a few Katrinas in this batch. Must have been very popular names at the time. Has anyone researched the reason why parents of various surnames living in the same region chose certain names around the same time. Who were these children named after I wonder?
