There are a lot of coincidences in the pursuit of genealogy... that
list is certainly a great addition to the roll-call of the
strangely-named; Cornwall may start a fashion among their fellow record
offices. The marriages are a good variation- not quite in the same
league, I was pleased to find that my wife descends from the 1788
marriage of William Feast and Anne Bosomworth.
