Hi all Nicknames can be a nightmare - I have four great aunts respectively Isabella (Tib) Janet (Jen) Jane (Jen?) and Margaret (Maggie). No one is alive now to tell me whether Aunt Jen is Janet or Jane!

Mike, As I have mentioned previously , at times, my paternal Scottish family made my research life so difficult. The Family Birthday Book, combined with the 1891 & 1901 census, appeared to have many more Siblings for my Grandmother, than I had previously been led to believe. After I searched personally for hours, in Edinburgh, it eventually took a professional Researcher to sort my family for me. Noone was actually known by his / her Registered first name. Had I not been able at that time to pay for research, I would never have been able to track down "who was actually who". After that, happy to say, living relations found me . ( I was sure that family had put a spell of some sort onto their descendants.)
