Thank you Light for your help. It is strange to have 2 sons called William. I had a birth for the first William but assumed he must have died when the second William came along

HI, I have a few families where they have children with the same names

Mine were known by the middle name ..

I guess William was a male family name that they had to carry through. I have usually found the duplicate in the middle name. I might try looking for marriages under the middle names. Cheers
