Re the 1911 census.I have a copy of that and the 1901.
The names tie up to some extent.
Mary and Margaret are absent as is Thersa.I think I found the first two in service somewhere.
However in the family the daughters were known by different names.For example in the censuses I have Helena,Mary,Margaret Bridget,Theresa,and Gertrude, but 'family' names were Bridie (Bridget), Tessa ?,Molly ? and  Rita ?.
Does anyone know who these shortened/nicknames may refer to.

As a general rule Tessa is a nickname for Theresa, Rita for Margaret or Rachel, Molly for Mary (or sometimes Margaret).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
