Naming patterns
I have a couple
Hugh Kirk bc 1845 Ireland – parents names Peter and ?
Catherine McKenzie b1849 Sunderland – parents John and Hannah
Hannah – after mother’s mother
Peter – after father’s father
Bridget Ann – after ?
Ellen – after ?
John – after mother’s father
Margaret – after mother’s mother
Catherine – after mother
So could Hugh’s mother be Bridget Ann or Ellen – neither names are siblings of Catherine?
