Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 27 Send Message	Hi all Does any know if the name Jennie is a nickname for Jane ? My grand fathers birth certificate states his mother name as Jane, but on the 1901 cencus she is down as Jennie, its the right family on the cencus as all the siblings names and ages are correct. Many thanks Steve Robbins

	The list of nicknames at "http://www.tngenweb.org/franklin/frannick.htm" does give Jenny as a nickname for Jane - surprised me! Martin
