You think Smith Smith is strange enough - I once followed a family from Lancashire where both the father and the son were called Fish Fish !!! |

Wow! Thank you both for those contributions! Some interesting reading there. Again, Bracewell occurs so frequently, but I have not come across Martin yet although I will look him up now! Barrowford is quite near Colne geographically, and therefore quite close to Yorkshire; If Henry was a weaver at the time of his sons Baptism, maybe he was a journeyman, or just moved around looking for work. I am only just investigating this branch (of my husband's tree) so its early days yet. |

Oh, thank you both for the extras! Yes, Bracewell is ………. unusual . int it?! And when I was looking for him I found him in quite a lot of trees, and many of the male descendants have Bracewell somewhere, either as first or second name. I don't know any of the current ones though, so have not yet been brave enough to ask of its origins! Thanks for the Lancashire link Reggie, I will keep that one :-) |

Samuel Smith born 1849 in Hulme Manchester, son of Bracewell Smith and Betty Green. Sam also married an Elizabeth, probably around 1877. I can't find out her surname though. Looking on BMD there are about 6 elizabeths marrying a Sam Smith at that time! Is there any way I can find out which was 'ours' without having to order all the wedding certs?If I could just find one that identifies Bracewell Smith as father of the groom, then I can search in earnest. Thanks a lot. |
