Helen Smith's idea is brill, short for 'sister', so if the rest of the family were boys, there's your answer, i.e. no answer at all! Love Margaret

My great Aunt Cissie, whom I searched for ages for was actually named Amy Lucy!!! No wonder I couldn't find her!! Tammy :~)

I think any girl in a family (usually with a lot of brothers) would get called Cissie as a pet form of 'sister'. My G Grandad's sister 'Cissie' turned out to be Bertha!

Hi I had two Aunts that were called Cissie and discovered there real names were Ada and Ethel. I still do not know why they were called this and the connection with the individual names!!! So be liberal in your thinking.

I always thought that Cissie was short for Frances! Having said that, one of my ancestors was known as Cis but was actually called Annie!

I had the same problem the other day ........ with loads of different 'possible's. In the end, I had to narrow my search down using possible year +/- 2 years either side, and I had to widen the 'district possibility ! Found it in the end though. GOOD LUCK Elaine ;-)
