Oh, Merry, you should know better than to challenge me! Oh, alright then, I won't tell you about the Fishes, I shall tell you about James Holden married Margaret Taylor. She died, poor thing, and he remarried, pdq, to widow MRS MARY TAYLOR. She was a rellie by marriage of his dead wife. A son was born, of course, called James Holden. He married - Mary Taylor, his cousin. They jhad children, some of whom were called James and Mary. This Mary Holden married her cousin - James Taylor! Anyone got a pair of scissors? Olde Crone

Merry I worked with a chap once whose surname was Lamb. When his wife was expecting, they were worried they would have a son, because her favourite boys' name was Sam and his was Sean. Luckily they had two daughters. I once knew an old lady called Pearl Button. nell

merry perhaps your Lamb's are related to Stephen Fry's Lamm's. You must have enough for a flock by now. (Or maybe enough for a decent barbie in the summer. Mint sauce and rosmary anyone :-))))))))))

Merry, I've got a Butcher you can borrow. Lol Helen, I went to school with a Sean Lamb. And to make things worse, he actually had very blond tight curly hair. The poor kid got paid out something shocking.

Lol Rebs! Now....I don't have anyone on my tree with the SURNAME, Butcher.....but......... my granddad, great, 2xg, 3xg and 4xg were all butchers....so my flock had better watch out! Merry

I have a Mary Shepherd you can borrow. My problem is George Blacker, my rellie George was the local G.p. and by all accounts a very popular man. Not only did all his children and grandchildren have at least one George all their cousins did as well - about thirty in one village. I would have hated to be the local teacher. best wishes Anne

If you have need of Pinkers, Merry, help yourself to some of mine. I have inherited zillions of them. Beverley, who finally got back home
