Interesting names

I do find some interesting names as I look down lists for relatives:

  • Born in London, in 1897 (Year of Victoria's Diamond Jubilee) Henry JUBILEE Treherne. Sweet!
  • Born in Ontario 1874, Annie Temperance Smith. Died of cholera as an infant.
  • These next ones were pointed out to me on The National Archives pages - curious names from the 1881 Census include: a man called Donald Duck; a GP called Dr Robert De'ath; William Neal, who had no occupation because he was "too idle", and the Munslow twins called "Bank" and "Holiday".
  • When I saw these pages on The Genealogue, I realised I'm a mere amateur.

While we are name dropping, here's a site which is the Genealogist's equivalent of 'Hello' magazine!
