I know there were a lot ... but I was wondering if they might appear under another name.. Missing records and all that !
Thanks Margee. That's just the name I was hoping someone would come up with! I have a Fanny who might have become a Frances but i wasn't sure.. :-)

If you do a search on FreeBMD

Perhaps just select one year and one quarter - more likely to be 1837 to 1910 - you will just how many were registered

A name in its own right

You only have to search BMD's to see just how many there were
