Inspired by the Grandad thread!

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

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.

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