But would it be likely for someone who was christened Ada to be called Annie as a pet name? I have finally found the person who I think to be my great-grandmother; she is Annie Florence on 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses, and son's birth certificate. The only birth I can find is for Ada Florence. Everything else matches up, year and place of birth etc. Would be grateful for any advice! Many thanks, Mandy :)
