Re: Death Info
In Response To: Re: Death Info ()

In my mother's family all children who died in infancy were followed wherever possible by another
child often of identical or very similar name to those
same parents or even siblings ' families or in next
generation / my uncle named his son for the baby brother he lost.
Also confusingly my father's sister & her first cousin had
almost identical names.
