I also had an auntie Nin, her real name was Jessie however! Not sure that will help much. I think it was just an effectionate pet name in families (mine were London too) without any relation to actual name. |

I know you have now found your Nin - but just thought I would add - my grandmother's cousin was nicknamed Nin - but her real name was Eileen. |
