i haven't asked as yet. she's coming up for ninety and not all that brilliant on the phone. she lives quite distant from me. me mum is visiting her on the 26th so will get her to ask another few questions then. the info i have is from a few pages she wrote of her memories. a sort of life story- she wrotte it a few years ago and it details the years between 1922 and 1930 when they moved away from london. i found a lot of information as a result of reading it, but nothing else about babs. simply that she was a cousin and nin was her bridesmaid in 1930. |

If you're searching for Williams it can be tough. |

yes- i've found that to my cost! especially when generations of them go by the same christian name, or are baptised under one name and then use a completely different one for the rest of their lives. |

If you're sure of the year, the easiest way forward apart from asking more questions of Nin may be to check all marriages of Barbaras in Mountfield in that year. |

I had a great Aunt who was known all her life as Babs.......her real name was in fact Violet, when I asked my mother why she was called Babs, she had no idea, but she was the youngest of the family and wondered if Babs stemmed from Baby, as in baby of the family,......don`t know if thats any help to you or not....... |
