Hi I have been looking for one of my aunts Elise Bell b/ 1.6.1902
yet all i'm getting up on Ancestry is the name Elizabeth ..so my question is ..
is Elise short for Elizabeth or some other name although i couldn't see my grandmother calling 2 of her daughters Elizabeth .
thanks for any help on this

Have you looked for them on the 1911 to see where she was born?

not coming up on the 1911 census
can you give some more family names and area and will take another look

Maybe it was Elsie??

Hazelx

You're welcome Hazel, though without info about her family and birthplace she would have been impossible to find, so you need to put that sort of info. if you have other queries.
Elsie isn't as posh as Elise is it!

Hazelx
