In my searching I have found so many "Agnes Nancy" couplings, that my theory is -- perhaps the pet name for Agnes started as "Nessie", and evolved into the more popular "Nancy". Barb Rice Lafayette IN

Netheryett appears to be a property /or farm in the Parish of Kirkpatrick-Durham. The proprietor in 1902 was John McCartney. May be the place you are looking for.

I have a Nancy born in Cheshire in the 1840s who I finally tracked down in the 1881 census under Ann. The only thing you might have to watch out for is whether John RICHARDSON's first wife died and he married another woman with the same Christian name. It's surprising how often this seemed to occur. I too have a little book, Names for Girls and Boys, (bought before the eldest of our 4 children was born in 1977) which says in part: "Anne This name appears in a variety of forms - Ann, Anna, Anne, Anita, Annetta, Annette, Annie, Hannah, all now Christian names in their own right, and the pet forms Nan, Nancy (and it's Welsh form Nansi) and Nanette." Nancy definitely seems to be a popular name in it's own right in Cheshire in the 1800s but I couldn't comment on other northern England counties.

Good Morning listers. I have returned to this list after an absence of several years and look forward to catching up with you all. My interests are JOHNSTONE from Johnstone (line of John Johnstone & Jean Ritchie) GOLDIE from Kirkmichael and Wamphray (line of James Goldie and Ann Wilson) And of course all the connected families which I will get to over time ROGERSON looking for anyone researching the family of James ROGERSON and his second (I believe) wife Jean BOYES (Jean is the daughter of Jean Ritchie who married John Boyes following the death of her husband John in 1806) "BLINBURN" is a farm often mentioned in the family history but non existant after about 1820s ????????? If anyone has ever come across this farm I would love to hear from them. It is believed to be near Johnstone Mill which the Rogerson family mannaged (more information needed here) Alison in Calgary, Canada Also researching Ballantyne, Grieve, Ninian Elliot of Rox.

Hi Ken, The Rootsweb Female Nicknames List gives 'Nan,Nancy or Nanny' as a nickname for 'Ann,Anne or Anna' in English usage. And as Ian says,in Scotland it's a nickname for Agnes.

Hello Everyone, I'm just new to this list although not new to Rootsweb mail lists. Agnes Anderson was one of my great grandmothers and she was know as Nancy her entire life. Agnes was born circa 1833 in Ettrick, Selkirkshire, but I don't believe that this derivative of Agnes was in any way exclusive to that area. Just something to be aware of as you continue your search. Regards, Joan, ON. Canada

Some extra points to add to Judy's who has done a great job in identifying the ?? places. 22) Pembury Hospital is still a working hospital. 133) Holy Trinity Brompton (Anglican) and the Brompton Oratory (Roman Catholic) are next to one another and both next to the Victoria & Albert Museum in central London - nowadays it is probably in Kensington. Posh part of the world now, and probably was then too. Harrods is about 600 yards along the road from here towards central London. On the A40 road, or Brompton Road as it is called. 157) Eltham is a part of SE London which is nowadays part of London, but would formerly have been a village in Kent. I'd therefore search for nearby places with a St Peter's Church, as the description is Eltham Road. (Bob Hope was born in Eltham I recollect, and there is a Bob Hope theatre there) Also Charles Darwin lived nearby (5 miles or so) if that adds context? I agree with Judy's comment on the possible military link with the Surrey towns near Weybridge. Le meas edward Limpsfield, Surrey Using Norton SystemWorks
