Can anyone help solve a difficult mystery please?

Thanks Nell. I will look into that. I was hoping that it might say where she was born.

Oer Pippa!

I wonder if she knew she was named after cricket bales? lol! Mind you was cricket invented by then?

[Pippa Doll]

Maybe her parents liked Merlin?

Its the national emblem of Jamaica. Any links?

Well it had crossed my mind as it sounds very like a Caribbean name, possibly a slave name?

Would that be possible Chrissie?

Oh well, no dafter than Fifi Trixiebelle I suppose.

I too am plagued in my tree with a most unusual name. No one knows how to spell it so I go up and down the alphabet looking for him.
