    1. [TUCKER-L] England's Naming Pattern
    2. James & Karen Weiss
    3. Has anyone seen their families using this variation of naming their children? The naming pattern in England, 1700 - 1875 1st son -- Father's father 2nd son -- Mother's father 3rd son -- Father 4th son -- father's eldest brother 1st daughter -- Mother's mother 2nd daughter -- Father's mother 3rd daughter -- Mother 4th daughter -- Mother's eldest sister Younger children would be named after earlier ancestors, but the pattern in their case was more varied. Curious to know. ~ Karen Weiss
