So frustrating. I have a photo of a little girl in school in Moreton Pinkney in Northamptonshire, photo dated, 1918. Child is Bessie Prestidge and looks about 5 years old.
The village is full of Prestidge's, with even a row of cottages names after them, can't find a Bessie or Elizabeth born around that date at all
if the photo was taken during WW1 are you sure she wasn`t a relation who was staying with an Aunty etc ...ie like an evacuee ?

Several of my relations around that time were only known by their 2nd or even 3rd name. I looked for a Gertie, who I knew lived with my G grandfather and his family, only to find that although she was baptised Gertrude, because her aunt (who turned out to be her mother!) was also Gertie, little Gertie was known as May!
