Here's another one for you all. John Langwarrin MARSHALL. Now where the heck would a name like Langwarrin come from. Must be a place name perhaps??

A quick look on Google shows Langwarrin as a place in Victoria 45km SE of Melbourne. Does that tie in with any information that you have?

All the best,

Mine range from the relatively mundane -

Lazarus FINER

- to the more unusual -

Ortie Estas GOOWDIN, parents Ortie GOODWIN and Susan GOODWIN MS CAMPBELL.

- to the completely unbelievable -

Theophilus Armand Roland Thelesphore MITCHELL (Andy, eat your heart out

)

- the illegitimate son of Elizabeth MITCHELL, Domestic Servant, in Dundee in 1864. Sadly, he didn't survive beyond the age of 18 months, - I was fascinated to see what name was given on possible marriage and death register entries ..........

I had an Aunt MINNIE,

Her name on her BC was Marion.
Don't know if this was common or not

Hello Andrew, yes, John Langwarrin Marshall was, I believe, born in Melbourne, Victoria. I haven't his birth records to confirm it though. I wonder if perhapsl that is where his parents or other family came from. I will have to check it out.

David, your family name beats all

and all I can say is the poor little blighter was lucky he never had to write it.

This thread got me to thinking I have some pretty unusual puritans of my own.......females like....

Relief Cole
Temperance Bryant
Phebe Wild
Zilpha Hartford
Mehitable Gerry not to be confused with her daughter's mother in law Mehitable Perry

and then some males like....
Lazarus Rowe
Shadrach Walton
Paris Rogers
Hatevil Nutter

makes Jean and Agnes and Robert and William look pretty good to me

Best wishes
Jean

And, with the surname WILD how can Phebe be a 'puritan'?

I suppose puritans should HATE evil. C'mon Mallog You should be used to different spellings by this time!

I know that I've got an image somewhere on my HD for Lazarus, and have just uploaded we Theo' s birth to the Gallery. I seem to recall that Ortie's date was after the on-line limits ...........

Hi Mallog

Nope...not making Hatevil up.

Try a google on his name. Have to admit he's not one of my favorites due to his wanting innocent Quaker women to be whipped and punished

but typical of the times I spose. He's my 9th GrGrandfather according to my trusty legacy relationship calculator. I descend through his son Anthony.
