Hi Bob, Did Fanny have a middle name . She was christened - Fanny? some people reverse the given and middle names - preferring one over the other. My research - has many who appear to choose - different given names - over time - even in marriage Harry - becomes Henry - in some documents - the reverse in others - the christening - shows the name Tihomas Henry documents show Henry or Harry Thomas - or the reverse - on Marriage . birth of children -death registrations. Females - christened Julia / Julianna - sometimes show as Helen on the birth of one of the children Anna. Hannah Anastasia - Annie, Ann - and Lizzie - for another . I imagine no one asks for documentation - to show - the original given name also - Olga becomes Elizabeth - - and another Elizzsbeth becomes Isobel . Makes research - difficult - interesting . In some family histories - families - who have not done proper research / documentation - guess. they seem to know the names of Fathers, Grandfathers - uncles - but the females - - almost forgotten. women carry the title - mother, auntie, grandmother , etc - no need to know the given name - sadly Cheers, Stella At 01:56 PM 13/02/2014, you wrote: >I had a GGG christened in Kent in 1780 with the name of Fanny and she >appears every where else as Mary. > >Just a thought! > >Bob > > >On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 3:44 PM, gloria <sunflower1975@comcast.net> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > One of my ancestors, Priscilla YOUNG (born to Robert and Jemimah Young and > > christened 23 Oct 1768 in Horsmonden, Kent).
