My aunt reckons she had an aunt Milly but the 1901 census only shows a Martha and Amelia in the family. Had a thought though that Milly could be a shortened form of Amelia. What do you think? Thanks Aileenx |

LOL! My gt g/f was German so I've been trying to imagine how a German would pronounce Amelia. As there's definitely no Millicent in the family I'll have to ask my German friend what she reckons when I next see her Thanks Aileenx |

It sounds logical but I have relatives that are given one set of christian names and then end up being known as something ENTIRELY different! WHy?! Abigail |

Thank you everyone for replying and confirming my suspicions. The thought came to me at 4am this morning when I couldn't sleep so I just had to ask! Happy hunting! Aileenx |
