Hi. I am researching my Grandfathers ancestry and I am hoping someone else is aswell. My grandfather [Edward Richard Hyder III (Will put III so it is easier to understand] was born in 1923 in Bristol and I recently found that his father, born in 1899, was also born in Bristol and was called [Edward Richard Hyder II]. The strange thing is his father was also called Edward Richard Hyder I. That is basically all I have found out at the moment as many of the relatives that would know about this stuff fell out of contact with us a long time ago.
I am hoping someone on here will also be researching this family or will know something about it. If so please either reply here or mail me. I would love to hear from you.
I can give more information on request if needed. I also want to know how common was it for 3 generations of people to be called the same name.
Thankyou
