A while ago I asked for some guesses as to the real names of my dad's sisters who were known by the names: Hetty, Mary, Birdie, Dolly and Mabs. They so far have turned out to be respectively: Harriet, Evelyn, Bertha not found yet and am certain (probably) Mabel. I said I would let you know so here it is. Roger
