Hello list i am having problems with finding a name, does anyone know if Molly was short for something else? And similarly the name Sally (like betty, lizzy or eliza are short for elizabeth)....i just cant seem to find this person who should be living in the leyburn area with parents william and margaret hardy. I am having trouble doing the look up probably because i am entering "sally" when it is short for something else, or a middle name. These are the only names and dates i have: William Hardy - father Margaret Hardy (previously stott?) - mother leslie hardy - sept 1891 - my great grandfather ralph hardy jack hardy sally hardy molly hardy william hardy annie hardy If anyone is researching this area and happens to have any information or look ups i would be very grateful! Many thanks Laura
This Web site is really good looking for Pet names. It was started for Scottish names. http://www.whatsinaname.net/ They have Molly as a pet name for Mary and Sally as a pet name for Sarah. In my family we have a Sarah but she gets called Sally.
