Just glad im not trying to find SMITH or BROWN. Every time I think I've got some info on a marriage the other partners name is different ! Prehaps my lot all lived in sin ! Janine

I was looking through the indexes this afternoon to find out which particular Jones my aunt married. 20 pages of them, and it's surprising how many Jones's married Jones's in 1943!! Must be a nightmare. T x

Back to whinging about hubby's Smiths, his Mum was a West and her Mum was a Green. Her Grandad West married a Wilson. Hubby also has Hill, Hall, Jackson and Roberts in his tree. How common can you get!
