Or maybe he isn't senile! According to my birth certificate, Peggy is my name, not a nickname. :) |

Not read your "Swallows and Amazons" then? Peggy was Margaret to her mother and Nancy was Ruth (because pirates are ruthless"). |

Just a thought, but perhaps there were TWO Margarets in the family, and one was called Peggy to distinguish between them? I know a family where this happened. Janet East Northamptonshire |
