Dear List, In my Cornish research, I have also come across a female baptized Christian, who was later documented as Christiana, Christina, and Kitty. An Aurelia, whose daughter was baptized Aurelia, but went by Amelia until after her mother had died, and was then documented using Aurelia. A Cecilia shortened to Celia and Selia as an adult. A Mary Ann called Nancy as a child. A Janet, who used Nettie as an adult. These instance were all in the 1800's. Kind regards to all, Rowena -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christine Tregonning Sent: Friday, 23 November 2012 5:59 AM To: 'MARJORIE KING'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] Variations on names Hi Marjorie, The reason that I posted this is that I wasn't aware of the connection between Caroline and Kate (Katie, Kitty, Kit) although it slowly dawned on me. I am sure that there are others in this position. Interestingly my ancestor was a Caroline KING who was born in St Austell about 1834 although I have never been able to find her baptism. For those of us with Scottish heritage other variations of Jane are Jean, Janet, and Jessie.
