How kind of you all to keep the suggestions coming in!!!
Wish I'd had a bet for the best guess!!!

My nan was known as Nin, her name was Nellie Rosina.
Hope this helps

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.

Could the J stand for Janine? ....Nin?

oh and forgot to mention for 'Nell'..I also had two auntie Nells, one real name Caroline the other Eleanor!

Ooops sorry didn't realise you already had your answer (had only read page 1)..but you see what I mean in any case!

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.

thanks for all the suggestions everyone, all your help was brill....NIN turned out to be EMILY!!!!

I looked at FreeBMD and that Stella Prince is the only one at that sort of time.

I found a lot of Prince births in Poplar district. Some names you mentioned of other siblings.

Seems to confirm that was where they were living.

My mums name was Winifred and my young cousin could not pronounce it, so he called her Aunt Nin.

Hi, she was my great aunt, sorry in my haste I forgot to put that.........had brother Frederick William, sisters, Stella, Fanny (Frances?), Nell (Nellie, Helen) and Nin.....surname Prince.....all from the same area Bromley, kent.

I know someone whose wife's name was Lily but she was known as Nin.

If this person was your aunt.........she must have been the sister of either your father or your mother........do you know the names of their parents? That info would enable you to find the familyon census records..............

thanks for that Gwyn......think I need to do some lateral thinking!!!!

Judith, I had a Auntie Nin, her real name was Irene.
