My favourite is 'Fanny Musty', saw it a couple of weeks ago and nearly wetted myself. :-D

what about

Richard Hughes?

A friend of mine has an ancestor called Lilley White-

and he's a bloke!

Some parents can be cruel!

Well it's 8:08 pm here, and Heartbeat isn't on til 9, and I obviously didn't finish the work due at 4 (hey, the gu'mint website screwed up, I couldn't submit it ...), and I'm out of cigarettes ... and now I'm all alone.

Sniff. Sleep tight! Er, well. ;)

Okay, good game. I ran into the surname Garters here the other day on TTF, and one of them married well indeed.

Marriages Jun 1930
French Louisa M Garters Tendring 4a 1949
Garters Joseph V G French Tendring 4a 1949

Sorry Janey!

I've been looking at the marriages instead - wonder how many were double barrelled by the bride and groom ...

Found a Jelly / Bottom and a Jolley / Bottom in the same quarter.

And a Noble / Bottom ...

Meek / Bottom

Senior / Bottom



Enough, enough - I need my sleep!!

Nite all - thank you

Jill

Oh I am loving these combos:

The joining together of the Seymour / Bottom families:

You'll be joining me in the inner circle of you know where if you don't watch out.

And I don't mean a good place. ;)

I've never been to Drury Lane Janey. The only I notes I made where from Ancestry................I plead I was led astray lol.

:o))

Stevie ... I'd have thought you'd find them around Drury Lane, where someone I once suspected of being an ancestor was recorded among a long list of women, with the notation "would not state occupation, rooms rented by the night so no point in returning next day".

I'm becoming quite attached to the Squelch clan:

I'm sure we did have a thread about silly names before - it may well have been me that started it too!

Mind like a drain. Same old problem all my life!

Bob - you're lowering the tone young man. If you'd been saddled with a name like Mocock you wouldn't make jokes about it. And they are a pain to research at times!

LOL

Jill

There've been several. ;)

My fave *real* one is still Nimrod Squelch!

Marriages Dec 1843
Squelch Nimrod Reading 6 426


He must've been immortal. That's the only record of him.


Found him!

NIMROD SQUELCH

I guess John and Mary decided something fancier was needed.

NIMROD SQUELCH

Love is blind. Or at least, given literacy levels, deaf.
