 If the wife's parents were deceased, or the couple were living wife's parents farm, her folks may have priority in the naming.
 Sometimes, two or more children within a family were given the same first name(s). In some cases it was done because an older child died and the next child of the same gender was given the name. However, two or more children by the same given name could also have lived to adulthood. Do not presume that the first child with that same given name died unless the actual death record is found.<br>
