Queenie must have been a pet name, as I've not been able to find a matching marriage or death in that name.

Queenie is a quite common pet name derived from Victoria.

My favorite is Lilly Nellie Gibbins. Apart from the wonderful name it turned out that she died in Chelmsford in 1997 aged 100, just a few years before I moved there. She was the wife of my great granduncle George Speight who made a brush for my mother when she was married. I have the brush now.

That is SUCH a shame.

If only you had moved there while she was still alive (and known it ... perhaps by seeing about her queen's telegram in the local press) you could have taken the brush round to show her that it was still a treasured possession!

How about Queenie King?  Admittedly that was her married name and I think Queenie must have been a pet name, as I've not been able to find a matching marriage or death in that name.

I once had a teacher "Sr. Aquinas" who had the nickname "Queenie"

I have to say, I was a little bit amused when I was in Court 38 RCJ, going though the probate calendars, and I came across the probate records for various people by the name of Elizabeth King. Only, of course, they were listed as King Elizabeth.

Not many places in the Royal Courts of justice you will see references to King Elizabeth

Bernhard Zwetschkenstiel
from Austria or Hungary, he changed his name into Bernhard Steel (London 1902).

Zwetschkenstiel is the little stick connecting the plum with the tree.
(Prunus domestica ssp. domestica – common plum)

Joseph Needlestitcher
he changed his name into J. Simons (London 1906)

A plate in an Austrian village:

Alois Fleischhacker
Anmeldestelle
für Bestattung

Alois Meat Hacker
Registration Office
for Funerals

Fleischhacker is a Austrian word, like Paradeiser (tomato), Fisolen (beans), Kugel (football) ...
In German it is Fleischer, Metzger, but Fleischhacker sounds a little more drastic to German ears.

A lot of Germans with butcher names are now in the dental and orthodontics business ...

Best regards

Sounds a bit like "Blackadder"

Somerville Langabeer. He married into my tree but I can't quite remember where without checking. He sounds quite grand but I'm not sure he was!
