Ever since I started tracing my family tree, I decided to put in what I knew and go back looking for the finer details later. One relative giving me a bit of a problem was my mother's what we believe to be deceased sister. All my life I have known and had her referred to as Aunty Betty, I found out yesterday that she was actually registered by another name at birth. It was only through checking under BMD I found out her correct name, which married up with her age; it turns out my Mum knew her sister was called something else, but didn't think it helpful to tell me!!
This has got me thinking about my elusive great grandmother (Elizabeth Eleanor Mulligan), told by the censuses she was born in Caistor, but she doesn't show up on the birth register. What else could she have possibly been called?
