Inspired by the Grandad thread!

Mine were Elizabeth and Hilda. One is a great name that I'd use, the other not so much.

Was almost named Emma after the first two letters of both of them together.

Florence and Gladys. My great grandmothers were called Elizabeth, Florence, Sarah Jane and Hannah.

Frankley - no, my grandmother was born in 1885. Interesting that you knew another Sydney as I think it’s very unusual for a woman. It’s nice though.
