	On the 1911 census transcript I have a Grandlian Lloyd as an ancestor. It is a girl's name but I have a feeling it has been incorrectly transcribed. I have used up all the credits bought with my husband's credit card so I can't look at the original till tomorrow. Does anyone have an idea what the name could be?

	I used to know a Gwenllian in Wales. (combination of gwen "fair, blessed, white" and llian "flaxen") )

	Thanks Rose, I was thinking of maybe Gwendoline, but that wouldn't really fit. Gwennian sounds like a better match. Krissie
