What were your grandparents called?

[Oopsie]

I'm looking for some good oldie names.

Fred, Beatrice, George, Priscilla.

Margaret & William
Mary & Robert
(DH's)
Adelaide (brothers were Marmaduke & Macaulay) & Stanley, who then married Mary, then Gladys
Irene & Thomas Harry
(mine)

Eva, Royal, Anne, William

DH's: Joseph, Nellie, Laurence, Vera

Mine were/are:

Constance Joan
Stanley (Stan)

Marion
Jasper

Great Grandparents

Agnes
Robert

Eva and Jim

Joan and Roland

btw Irene also pronounced Eye Ree Nee, or Our Reenie by Thomas Harry, who was from Yorkshire.

Mine: Evelyn and Jack
George and Constance (Connie)
Dh's : Alice and Harry
Thomas and Mary

Nancy & Leonard
Vera & Vincent

And there's my 3 week old Nancy currently clamped to my bosom

My wonderful grandparents are:

Elizabeth Anne (Betty) - am considering Elizabeth/Beth for potential future DD
James (Jim)

Brenda Gertrude
Donald Cecil (Don)

Great-grandparents were:

Susan and ?
Florence (Florrie) and ?
The names of the other escape me - shameful as some of them are talked about quite regularly, but only as Pop, Gran and Fatty (I kid you not!)

DH's grandparents were:

Earnest (Ernie)
Ruby

William (Willy)
Mona

Sarah & William
Mary & Joseph (Seriously - Good Old Irish family!)

Dp's - Joseph & Lillian
He can't remember the other ones!

Albert & Dorothy
Clement and Florence (Clement still going strong aged 102!)

Mine: Richard and Kathleen, Ellen and Frederick

DHs: Earl and Darlene, Betty and Calton

Find this quite interesting looking through the names, cos there must be quite an age difference in 'grandparents' names. Eg mine were all born at the beginning of the last Century, and my dd's grandparents will be older than some of your dc's grandparents. Mine are in their mid seventies.

So .... my parents/step parents' names are Maureen, Francis, John, Elizabeth.

DH's - Elsie & Kenneth

Brenda and Anthony (Tony)
Jakob and Elisabeth Maria

Brenda's sisters were Monica (Mon), Dorothy (Dods) and Chris (I don't actually know what that was short for).

Victor and Ellen
Helen and Wiliam
Audrey (nn of Nancy) and Garfield
Rosina and John

George and Ivy
Isabella and Edward

Henry and Eleanor
William and Olga
