I sorted them alphabetically, so that it can be easier for you to select them!. If you need more names you can try to find a 19 century census and you'll be able to find a lot of names there!. But I hope that these names will be enough for your project!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure about last names but as for first names it was very common to give boys the name of a prominent person in The Bible, especially names of the Apostles!. John, James & Thomas were very common at that timeWww@QuestionHome@Com

I agree you go with the Bible for first names!.

Last names think basic English names and anything Irish!.
