When researching my Howlett line I found Clarettina Crumpthorne.
She´s not from my line I´m happy to say.

Morning Matthew and Everyone
I have a gt.gt. Aunt who had the name
Margaret Eliza Wells Webster Turner

I know where all the names came from, with the exception of Wells. That one is a real stickler for me.

Each generation was named after the one before, so when finding someone, I have to really look for the birth date, to know which generation they belong to.

Through marriage, I have the surname Kitchen, in my tree. Glad is wasn't Toilet.

Take Care

I have a couple that always make me smile because they are unusual (to me).

Melchisedeck Warnet
Theophillus Luff

Neither actually in my direct line. The first off to the side in my tree and the second off to the side in OH's tree. Otherwise mine are fairly ordinary.

Morning all. I'm being nosy and would like to know what is:

(a) the longest full name you have in your tree?

For me it has to be:

(a) Elizabeth Agnes Theophilea Glandfield Abel
(b) Pansy Virginia Upsdell
