Hi Janet My grandmother Charlotte was known as Lottie. I discovered she was actually registered as Lottie, and only got the full version on her baptism. Regards Stan

Hello Janet Iwas very puzzled when I got my grandmothers marriage cert as her mother was down as Anna , we had always been told it was Harriet but apparently Hannah and Harriet did both call them selves Anna, and also Tony Hull told me if they went away from home as a lot of our ancesters did when they came to oz they travelled under their mothers name some sort of superstition apparently but she she was born Harriet and ended up Annie in her death record, no wonder its hard to find them sometimes, Charlotte could get Lottie or Charly, Lara
