One of my favourites from ancestry search (sad or what?) is Fanny Hair.

My dear Old Fanny was born in 1849 and has been missing since 1901 so must be quite Old and Shrivelled by now?

Does anybody rememember the TV chef Fanny Craddock and her husband Johnny? So the story goes, Johnny lurched onto the screen and drunkenly raised his wine glass, saying 'Goodnight viewers.... and here's hoping all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's!'

Don't think Heather's about...but she always makes me laugh and starts a good thread...must go now but thanks for making me chuckle. Chris

Felicitations, I have found a Fanny. Full name Fanny Forward...fancy that (hope she wasn't too Forward)

No offence taken , I am not a Smellie lol I think it is Scottsh.There area lot in Lanarkshire. Marion

None of these are mine but I Just found these. I thought they were funny. Name: Fanny Anguish ******************************************************* Name: Fanny Reach Harbour Angel Where born: Whippingham; ******************************************************* Name: Fanny Back ******************************************************* Name: Fanny Badcock ******************************************************* Name: Fanny Bangle ******************************************************* Name: Fanny Bank ******************************************************* Name: Fanny Sofa Banner ******************************************************* I could go on but there are Hundreds that are funny. Lesley :~)))))))

Marion...no offence, but I think it's a scots name. I work in an office where we have hundreds of student files and we often have a laugh with names.. A good game is putting a first name or initial that matches a surname. Eg we have a Mr Cumber, so his first name has got to be Quentin (Qcumber!!!) or Neil NCumber!!! and Mr Drage whose first names are Robert Orville Adam (ROADrage!!!) Oh what fun!!!

Chrispy Well, I have an Annie Smellie....but no Fanny!!! Marion

Nudge for Chris' joke...ha ha ha. I knew a boy born surname Smellie (truly)..poor boy changed his name to Smillie and who can blame him. Hopefully he never married a Fanny....... Chris

Once upon a time there were three sisters, Susan, Mary and Francis, one evening Susan and Mary went to the pub and got chatting to a handsome chap, who just happenned to mention, good heavens ladies, what big feet you have, 'You think ours are big !!!!' you should see the size of our Fanny's.
