Hello, I have, in my tree, an illegitimate woman, Elizabeth Poll. Her christening is registered on the IGI recoirds here: C131292 1813 0952987 Her mother is listed as "Issa Poll" and the christening is in Stradbroke, suffolk.
There are no birth records for an Issa Poll, but there is a Louisa Poll, getting married to a Thomas Aldous 6 years later on Christmas eve (aww) 1819, with her birth listed as 1798, in stradbroke, suffolk.
This is the only Louisa Poll, I have not yet found her christening/birth records however.
Am I right in think that Louisa and Issa are one and the same?
Or can anyone tell me another name Issa could be short for?
Thanks! Jenny
