Has anyone ever seen the name Siddie? I was wondering if it could have been Liddie in the census instead of Siddie. With Liddie, could her name have been Lydia?

Hi Sheila My Grandfather was named and christened Donald, but everyone called him Dan. I also have a grandmother named Janet, who went by the name Jean. I am named after her and a couple of older people in the family have sometimes called me Jennie.

Hi List I was wondering if anyone on list knows... of interchangeable first names.. I have run across Jean - Jane.. to discover they are the same person now that jean/ Jane are interchangeable I wonder how many other first name are as well. Would the same apply also to Donald/ Daniel ? As these 2 names are confusing me in 2 different generations. Thanks for you help Sheila Stewart- Lafleur

Hi Shelia, My great-aunt was named Mary Ann but was always called Polly, it was supposed to be a common name for those named Mary Ann. I also have Henry and Harry being interchanged. On some census Henry is used and on another census Harry is used. I never knew my Uncle Harry's name was really Henry until I started this project.

Hi Listers Could I make a plea to you to ensure that you put a Subject to your Postings; as most Spam filters will cull out e-mails where the Subject is left blank. It also makes problems for the List to file your e-mail without a Subject. Remember that postings are linked by Subject in the List Archive. Thanks Les

It seems that apart from tradition, the use of the name of a grandparent or ggparent was a distinguishing tool where there were so many people with the same forenames and surnames. Much the same goes for the terms 'mor' for big which was not just descriptive but distinguishing a certain person from another. This can sometimes create difficulties in AUS where often a person called 'Tiny' or 'Lofty' is the very opposite. Anne Maye

Hi List Members This is my first posting. I am trying to find any members with connections to ROBERT CRAFORD / CRAWFORD who christened in 1737 in Dunoon. He married AGNES / ANN TURNER / TURNOR BORN 1741, daughter of JOHN TURNER in 1759 in DUNOON AND KILMUN. Their children were JANET 1761, ISOBEL 1765, ANDREW 1767, DONALD 1769, ALEXANDER 1770 (who I descend from), PATRICK 1774 and MARY 1777. Also whenever I look up information on the Mormon internet site it gives place of birth, marriage etc as "Dunoon and KIlmun". Was this a parish name? It sounds like 2 places! Sorry for my ignorance of this!
