   I know others who like myself, have just given up on some lines because   
   everyone had the same forename.   
      
   Part of my POUNDER family is from Stokesley and are related to the   
   WRIGHTSONs in that area.  But most of the WRIGHTSON seem to use the same   
   forenames, I am sure we must be distantly related but perhaps DNA might   
   show something if there were some examples from around there.   
      
   Second names can be useful, if you come across a Daly Briscoe then they   
   will be related me (named after my GGF's brother born in the late   
   1820s). It is still being used as a second name in one branch.
