Patty is a nickname for Patricia (of course), but I have known some Pamela(s) who had the nickname of Patty~ -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Thompson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 9:37 am Subject: [GLS] Nickname First of all many thanks to Jenny and Elizabeth for their help re Thomas and Martha Archer. Elizabeth found a marriage for me in 1833 between a Thomas Archer and a Patty Hiatt. I have tried searching The Genealogist site in the 1841 Census for a Patty Archer and it keeps throwing up both Matilda and Martha Archers (none of which are mine) so I was wondering if Patty could be a nickname for Martha like Peggy can be short for Margaret? Any ideas? Thanks, Margaret _____________________________________________ Have you considered adding "postems" to "your" events on www.freebmd.org.uk , giving your contact details?
