Minnie can be a name in itself or short for Minerva, Minette. Rose

I think Minnie is quite often a name in it's own right. Kath. x

Could this be her?

Born about 1893, no Minnie Eaglestones for around that period in Greenwich. Bet she had another given name!! lol Gerry :-))

There is this birth:- Name: Minnie Eaglestone Year of Registration: 1892 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Paddington County: London Volume: 1a Page: 50 Kath. x

in my tree.. it's short for Amelia

Thank you one and all. Kathleen that probably is her birth registration. All the other children were registered in Greenwich. Never thought of looking elsewhere................ what a prat I am!! LOL Gerry :-))

Could be just Minnie!! The girl's name Minnie ..........Variant of Mary and Wilhelmina. Popular as an independent in the 1870s.

it could be short fo Whilamina or jusr a pet name as well as a name in it's own right. only one I can see is: Births Dec 1892 (>99%) Eaglestone Minnie Paddington 1a 50 this one certainly fits the age of the girl from Greenwich on the 1901 (daughter of Richard and Annie). The only way to discount her is to order the certificate.

Gerry, This is the only birth in the area. Births Jun 1893 Eaglestone Mary Elizabeth Greenwich 1d 1079 Rose

Hi Gerry, In my tree, Mary was called 'Minnie' by her father.

A rellie in my tree was called Minnie, as a name in itself, apparently quite popular then. When she married, she became Minnie Cooper - and a car was named after her!! what a conicidence.

Our Jemima Jane was also known as MINNIE, just to make things complicated.

hi gerry.....it must have been an affectionate nickname....my mums sister was gladys....we called her aunty gladys.......other cousins called her aunty minnie....don`t know why....its always puzzled me.....regards.....allan

Hi It could be Williamina ! Williamina could be shortened to mina, minnie, winnie etc.
