My Dad had the glorious name Cecil Herbert Ellis Stimpson (surname Gilbert) We named our son Ellis Ferguson, not really after my Dad, but because we liked it. Since then, doing my tree, I've found that the name ELLIS goes way back on both sides of my family, so as you can imagine, I'm so glad to have unwittingly carried on the tradition! It's a bit spooky though to have chosen that name....... Allie x

Unfortunately I can't find where the Stimpson bit came from (apart from his Mum who was Annie Constance STIMPSON Weedon!) Fascinating though, this name quest! Allie x

Jackie B, Yes Friend is a first name, no idea why he was called that. Strange one. Sue
