He gets called Snoz or Harold both are not his real names, it's a custom that I've always found strange.Sandra Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306175508043372583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923815077222102830.post-35345799017678603272017-04-18T14:38:26.673+10:002017-04-18T14:38:26.673+10:00Thanks for dropping by Molly.

Lucky for me I have managed to find her in the English census (even with the change of surname) unfortunately in Australia we don't publish census like they do in the US and GB Sandra Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306175508043372583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923815077222102830.post-27557470824628964502017-04-18T14:34:45.468+10:002017-04-18T14:34:45.468+10:00Thanks DeeDee, it's all part of the hunt.

I can sympathise as Myrtle is not one of those old fashioned names that has enjoyed a resurrection.<br />Funny how the pictures aren't labelled because the people at the time knew everyone in the photo. Or the postcards that say "from your loving mother". Who's loving mother? So frustrating.lindamaycurryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876359944965312653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923815077222102830.post-84246979625503055122017-04-18T03:42:03.953+10:002017-04-18T03:42:03.953+10:00One of the bloggers I follow from India talked abo...One of the bloggers I follow from India talked about a woman being forced to change her first name upon marriage.

Given names, call names, middle names, and nicknames are such a challenge -- but it may be worth following up on the Pat name. She may have gone by that name among family and it could show up in a census or elsewhere. Who knows? Worth a shot.
