My MIL was a Nancy but was always called Ann. In fact I didn't know she was Nancy till I started this and sent for her birth certificate. Linda

My Gt Uncle was married to a Nancy - I later found out that her proper name was Annie Elizabeth - So if I were you I'd definatley send for the cert.

I can only think of Swallows and Amazons, where Nancy was Ruth and Peggy was Margaret.

Researching:
Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)

Can also be used for Hannah - As Hannah could be shortened to Ann, which could then be Nancy

There's quite a few Nancys who are actually Ann, and the other way round (as I found out when looking for some of my lot lol)

I think it is a name in it's own right.....

Researching:
Ringrose from Countesthorpe Lord and Burley from Countesthorpe...Dixon Dawson Wood and Wilkinson from Caistor ,Starkey and Wood from Edendam. Hare from Horncastle.
