Great Aunt Cissie was actually Marjorie Elizabeth. To confuse things even further her daughter was also called Cissie, so we had Big Cissie and Little Cissie! Sue |

My Auntie Cis was christened Alice Maud, but her siblings called her Cis as she was the eldest girl. |

I know a Sarah who has always been known as Cissy, as her mother initially didn't realise she was pregnant - thought she had an ovarian Cyst!!!! |

They are also for Sarah too. Why do they have 'nick name' ? Valerie. |

My aunt Ella Margaret was called Cis. I asked my dad only the other week, why? He says everyone called her that and that he had never called her by any other name. I reckon it was a shortening of "sister" but spelt differently. Gary |

My aunt Ciss was really Mary. I think Ciss is a derivative of 'sister' |
