Lol Janey.... no, they were legally married, I have a copy of the certificate, in the late 1830's.... although they may have been telling fibs to the registrar!... however..... my gt gt grandmammy on the other side wasn't such a good girl! lolol

And..... shhhhh..... don't tell a soul.... but I have a little suspicion about one of my gt grannies... I have a feeling she may have been running... well, you know, one of those places! ;¬))

Ha, Daff, Sarai also married her deceased sister's husband!

Except ... back circa 1830-40 (I forget exactly), that wasn't allowed: marrying one's deceased spouse's sibling / one's deceased sibling's spouse.

So my grx3 grandparents lived long and happily in sin.

I'm wondering about yours. ;)

Digby Hunt... I love it... his daughter was Laura, fine, she was my 3xgt grandmother.... her sister was called Venelia... be careful how you say it, but I do love the name... Venelia went on to marry Laura's husband when Laura died... and her niece/stepdaughter (my gt gt granny) loved her enough to name one of her own children after her.... most of the rest a pretty boring... oh, Thamazyn, forgot her.....

Love

I can tell you my nephew's favourites. ;)

He didn't know quite what to think about having a grx3 grandmother named Dorcas.

But then we was quite taken with having a grx2 grandmother named Alice Cooper.

I rather like my grx3 grandmother Sarai (sometimes Sariah). A different name from Sarah - since she had a sister named that.

Hi SRS,
I like the names Hedley , Ellen , Lettita, Rebecca and Kaziah .
All my g/grandfathers on my dads side were called James except my G/dad who was Hedley.
