Traditional naming patterns were always particularly strong in Lancashire and has made my research a nightmare! All those James, John, Robert William, Ann, Alices! However, its also provided some useful clues to whom the parents parents might be, if you see what I mean. For some reason in my family, every first born male was called James Seymour Holden (why Seymour, I dont yet know but theres a good chnce its someone's maiden name) So it seemed a bit odd that one lot decided to call their FIRST son Joseph and the second James Seymour. Turned out Joseph wasnt the son of James Seymour, but James Seymour was! (Are you still with me?) Also, to my disbelief, one branch has TWO James Seymour Holdens in the same family, I spent ages looking for a death for the first, but both appeared alive and kicking on the 1871 in the same household, sons of the Head. Very, very strange. |
