	Talking of strange names I also have a auntie cherry who was really Rose,Uncle Johnny who was Reuben,Uncle Mac real name Horace!a Auntie Eileen who was really Irene and a great grandfather who couldn't decide if his name was George or William(cost me lots of money with certs)and on the census returns used his wife's and children's middle names took me ages to sort that one out.So why am i surprised to find a nolly!!! hehe No Irish links with my family at all sadly
