I must say, I thought at first that the PRYMMs in Ancestry would just have arisen from this example of the GRO list, but I made a precautionary visit to Google (saved myself some embarrassment!), and it certainly does seem to be a genuine name. However, I'm pretty confident about this one being PRYNN. Christine |

Then again, she could have been wrongly written on her birth cert. Mistakes happen all the time and the more times a record is copied or transcribed the more chances there are for it to happen. There are 3 matches for Prymm on Ancestry civil reg and one for Prymme (in Islington) so its possibly a name in its own right, or at least a variation on Prynn. nell |

Just to share this info... Have been trying to find birth of Elizabeth Ann PRYNN in Devonport 1860-63 (depending which census age!). Just couldn't find her. Was looking again at the 1837Online images I'd saved - and there she is ... Elizabeth Ann "PRYMM" born 1861 Jul-Sep in Devonport. It's one of the typed lists, so has clearly been mis-transcribed in the GRO list - along with Sarah Jane "PRYMME" born Islington, who, I imagine, was really "Sarah Jane PRYNNE". ..... The 1861 lists are largely typed, which could explain a lot! Christine |
