One great aunt christened Catherine - always known as Cassie.

I have now found that Nance was Beatrice
Can't see the connection myself, but my ancestors didn't make anything easy for me.

Has anyone ever had an Elizabeth known as Beatrice? I think I may have found it in my tree. Born Elizabeth but on census as Beatrice?

Hi, I haven't read the whole thread so apologise if this has already been asked/answered.

Is Sissy a name in its own right or is it a pet name/short for something?
