Funny Brian saying that Ginny was pet name for Jane cos my dad kept on talking about an Aunt Ginny and we thought it could be short for Jennifer, but when I found her the name was Jane. Regards Yvonne

Fantastic. I'm all sorted now then :) Just gotta work out who Joseph is lol No one seems to know about him. I was never told about him being a son, but he shows up with the same mother's maiden name when I do a search.

Brian, really? In that case, I could kiss you! I had a child, Jane, who I wasn't sure was part of my family. Turns out, if she's really Ginny, she was there all along :)

Ginny is a sort of pet name for Jane.

I have a relation called Ginny, but I can't find any records under Ginny. What else might it be?
