I shall take a look - sounds as if it's right up my street!!!

No Ann ..........although that is a good one too ;-) ... the clip is of Bradley Walsh on "The Chase" quiz. (clue is the name Fanny) .......he's such a giggler and can't keep his face straight.
I was in pain laughing at him :-D

Hi Mau - is it the one with the dog chasing the deer and the owner chasing the dog?

Completely off topic I know,but, does anyone watch The Chase?.....

shall I go on? :-D :-D

a while back we had a long running thread on odd names - unfortunately, although they were all genuine from the census, some of them were pretty disgusting - Brummiejean and I found most of them - GR whooshed the thread!!! that was before the site changed hands - perhaps we shold give it another go!!!

Charity Box was a favourite along with Cherry Tree and Christmas Day - there were rather a lot of Fanny's and I think that was what cooked the thread!!!

I have a Great Aunt in my tree who was called Andalinda Lynes.

I have sisters Tryphosa and Tryphena Balsdon in my tree! :-D

I have sisters Tryphosa and Tryphena Balsdon in my tree! :-D

I suppose that my given name,Annina is unusual as I am,as far as I have found out,English, I also have on grandad's line,lots of Mordecai's,and the nicest surname is Waterfall,an old Derbyshire name.

Ahh to have unusual names like that in your tree!! :)

This weekend I've been wondering where to start looking for a connection to John Jones who has appeared as a witness on one my ancestor's weddings, witness to a will and I think the reason why another ancestor has Jones as her middle name.

Not only do a lot of my ancestors have common surnames but they have been given common forenames to match lol
