Hi Everyone, thanks for your thoughts. I had found a Helen which matched although I was told she was called Nellie, so I think I'm on the right track, incidentially Ellen was also a family name so shall bear that in mind too. Thanks again everyone and good hunting. Lou

Nellie is also a name in it's own right.
