Following from the grandad thread because it’s fascinating.

I had a granny Jessie.

Great gran Cecilia & Bessie but I can’t temebe Bessie’s full name.

Grandmothers were: Flora and Christine
Great Grandmothers were: Catherine x 2 and Elsie.

Just realised I don't know my other Great Grandmother's Name but I would guess it was Elizabeth (as the rest of the kids were named after family members)

I love reading through these 😊
I didn’t know the names of my great grandmas so I asked my mom and there were Nancy and Dotty. Presumably Dorothy but my mom only ever knew her as dotty
