Hi I'm trying to help an elderly neighbour with his family ancestry and have come across a couple of names on the census returns that I can't find on BMDs. Assuming they could be shortened versions. The names I've got problems with are TILLY (sometimes LILY) and BEATY. Any suggestions of alternatives to check will be appreciated. Thanks. T.O.R. ;o)) |
