What's in a name

Fraser and Fraser

We had been researching what seemed to be a particularly straight-forward family: we needed to find the descendents of Lewis Lewis. With such an unusual name, it was easy to identify his marriage. You can imagine the endless joy his peers would have given him throughout his schooldays with such a name, which makes it all the more remarkable that when he had his first son, he named him after himself, with an additional middle name of Lewis. This Lewis Lewis Lewis, was shortly joined by a brother who Lewis Lewis named Lewis Moore Lewis. It should come as no surprise, that these two – along with other family members – actually lived by another name. It was under their assumed names that we contacted them to tell them of their entitlement.
