In the 18th century only the father is usually identified in parish baptism records. But when there were two men with the same names baptising their children at a church the clerks sought to differentiate between them recording for example, abode or occupation, or by adding senior or junior to the name.
There is no problem when it's clear there were two men, father and son with the same names, but has anyone found an example of senior and junior used to differentiate between an uncle and his nephew?
