When people keep marrying people with the same name. Researching the husband of one of my rellies, (she was his 2nd wife). The first wife was called Martha Fairbairn, b. 1843, d. 1878, then my rellie, then in 1900 he married his 3rd wife who was called.... Martha Fairbairn!
So I went onto another line, and this time my rellies first wife was called Alma Maxine, known as Maxine. She died in 1950, but then I find a newspaper report of a burglary in their home, in 1958, where he and wife Maxine were tied up and robbed - I assume he remarried but cannot find any trace of the marriage.
Maybe it's not the person they like but the name :D
