Journalling reads Ive known since I was a child that my mothers family was rife with ?family? names. Names that have been passed down through the generations, Surnames that became middle names, or even christian names and while I wasnt given one, nor did I chose any for my children, I now really love that tie to the past that those names deliver. What I didnt realise was that my fathers name was indeed a ?Family? name as well. The name Ralph appears to have been in the family since 1807. Ralph Deakin, A Coal miner from Dawley, Shropshire, was the fifth son of Thomas Deakin, ( also a collier) . I imagine after 4 previous sons, he and his wife had run out of family names and named their son Ralph. This is the first instance of the name that I can find in the family . Ralph also had a son named Ralph, but it was through the marriage of his daugther Jane Ellen to Richard Glazebrook Poole that a line of Ralph Pooles was born. Their eldest son took the name of Jane?s father and was christened Ralph Poole ( with no middle name) . He married Mary Garbett, and at that point they nearly broke the chain, for whatever reason, none of Ralph and Mary?s 3 sons were named Ralph, but their eldest son Samuel chose to reestablish the name and his eldest son carried the name Ralph Poole ( no middle name) . That Ralph, my grandfather named his only son Ralph Poole, also with no middle name. My parents also passed on the name Ralph, but as a middle name to my brother, and my fathers Aunt also named one of her sons Ralph.

But I agree with you, in that simple works, because the story is the main element here, to my mind. ------------------------------
