Perhaps it’s a mistake in some cases but I can tell you I have seen it in my tree.
Maria de Jesus will marry a man whose mother is Maria de Jesus and they will have a daughter Maria who later becomes Maria de Jesus. Besides which each Maria de Jesus probably has a sister and a child and an aunt who is Ana de Jesus. And they probably all married men named Manuel or Jose. I have seen certain first names popular in a village during certain eras, too. Of course it’s best to confirm that it wasn’t a mistake! It’s friustrationg but also comforting that even the priests had trouble keeping things straight...
