Ok - I have a relative Honey Dunleavy who was brn in Birmingham in 1861, She only shows on the 1871 census, and i cant trace birth or death records. (surname is mis-spelt on census or mis transcribed a few times but still no trace) Any idea's if 'Honey' is short for another name?

I think its probably just an unusual name. At least its pretty, which is more than I can say for some of the names I have seen !! Freebmd shows about 20-25 registrations for 'Honey' from 1840-1880, so fairly unusual but not entirely unique. Di
