Are your Abednegos all the Abednego Sarahs in Cornwall? Too many Abednegos can be a problem as well!

Hi Thorney,
We were taught the story of them at confirmation classes,they refused to worship a gold statue the king had built, king ordered them to be burned, but they walked out unscathed, the Lord was protecting them.
Cant believe i've remembered that story from all those years ago.......lol

Hi Georgygirl
I looked up the name's and Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego and its a bible story often referred to as the 3 young men

Just found a Susannah, does that count Sue? and 28 Thomas's (all with the same surname)
2 sets of Evans, 2 sets of Pritchards, not related.
Unusual christian names-Shadrach, Meshach,( Brothers) and Maureen Bega, i'm told Bega is the name of an Irish nun.
The one thing that has helped is, when the mothers maiden name was used as a second name for the children.
that did make them much easier to find.

when they name two sons one after the other as James and both are still living makes it difficult. they must have run out of names by them one was James Herbert and the other James Joseph . can only presume on a day to day basis they were called by their second names.
When I first came across them on the 1881 census on family search site i thought it was an error .this was in my early days of research and i wasnt sure what i was doing!!!

James named after his dad and his surname was James.
William and Thomas are quite common in my tree.
Im having problems with surname's I have 2 sets of Powell's and Thorne's.
Unusual names I have come across are Abednego,Shadrach and Absalom .

I was nearly called Susan after the pig my parents had when they first got married!
We had a puppy called Susan when I was small as the pig was long gone!

I have a string of Williams and James and one of those married a Mary Ann and another an Ann and they had children called Mary and Ann lol Luckily our surname is not over common so it helps a bit.
