I don't exist - using my FULL married or maiden name! If I leave out my middle name I am unique in my married name. Lynne Christine Coakley Sale Cheshire

Message to Ann Yeomans I tried your name and there are 23 of you (providing Yeomans is your maiden name of course). If your cildren were aged under 18 in 2001 then they will not appear on the site as they are ineligable to vote and therefore not registeredon the Electoral Role! Alison

You are unique. You are one with the angry squirrel. Shout 'I am unique. I am unified with the badger overlord.' People will run away. That's because they're jealous. JEALOUS...

There's 20 of me under my married name but only 12 of me under my maiden name and after all thats what my descendants will be interested in. Thanks for that Alison a nice lighthearted break after all that genealogical research. Penny

Hi There are 176 people with the same name as me but only 3 with my maiden name Bourke and before you start I have heard all the jokes connected with it My daughter is 1 of 2 called Janette Mcmylor there are only 81 people called Mcmylor in the country so does this make them unique?

Did you notice that you can also leave messages there. It's very quick and easy. I have left one and might put more on later. Have fun.....

Excuse me asking - where exactly on a wombat might its wingnuts be found, if they existed of course? Jacqui ps Haven't checked my name as hubbie would be mortified if there was more than one of me
