I think that knowing the date of the will might help to reply to this
question.

Subject: [MER] Naming of children
Thanks to Alwyn having put the Wills website on the list I have now
received
seven wills/admons. I thought I had begun to understand how children were
named but it is apparent that I haven`t
If I take a simple will - that of Evan ANGEL. He leaves legacies to:
His son Angel EVAN and Angel`s son Evan ANGEL, the names being as I would
have expected.
He also leaves money to his son John ANGEL and the bulk of the estate to
Lewis Evan ANGEL
Can someone explain to me why John & Lewis don`t take the surname EVAN?
Incidentally other legacies go to daughter Mary wife of Humphrey DANIEL
and
to granddaughter Jane daughter of D...(torn page) JENKIN.
Many thanks for any help.
