Re: A nickname question
« Reply #9 on: Saturday 18 February 12 19:56 GMT (UK) »
A 1901 Matlock census record shows a young girl with the name 'Effie'. Would this have been a nickname and if so, what could have been her name?
Thanks

Hi, Cumbrian Nige
My grandmother in Lancs was always called Effie by family members and her given name was Eveline, sometimes noted as Evelyn.

cheers,
Pat
