Sandra Isn't that typical lol. some of these rellies are a nightmare, I have a woman called Ann but she is on every census as Elizabeth, thought they shortened names not use longer ones,but it turns out Elizabeth is her second name, must have just preferred it to Ann. I am sure there are people registered with the name Kitty but it is originally a shortened version of Kathleen so I have just been told. Pat x

The only Kitty Ive known was a Katherine. But I did know a man called Kit and that was short for Christopher, so I suppose maybe Christine?
