What were your Great Grandmother’s names?

[Theoldwoman]

Mine were:

Ada Frances
Millicent Margaret

Dh's are Mary, Mary, Martha and Jane. They all died before he was born but he has an aunt who is nearly 100 who can remember one of them who was born around 1845.

Rose and Rosalie on my maternal side
Florence and ? on paternal side. My grandfather was adopted so I am unsure of his mother's name.

Molly
Thelma
Annie
Mary

Such a blonde moment last night. I blame having a very ill child in hospital.

so my other two great grandmothers names were:

Mary Agnes
Margaret Rankine

Love reading all those who have replied. I think names back then were so elegant.

Kathleen, Florence, Alice and Edith.

Sorry to hear this - hope they recover soon!

Henrietta
Isabella
Jessie Ann
Elizabeth

DH
Margaret x 2
Annie
Elizabeth

This thread has inspired me to find out.

Ambrose and Jeanne

Victor and Muriel

George and Christine

No idea about the others. I believe they died when that grandmother was a child, and she was raised by aunts. They would have been born around 200 years ago though!

You must have 4?

Teresa and Nora on one side, no idea on the other

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads

How were they born 200 years ago?!?! how old are you?!

John Tyler, 10th President of the US, was born in 1790. He still has a live grandson. So it's possible to have Great Grandparents born 200 years ago. Probably unusual. But possible.

One was Jane and one was Eva. On my Dad's side I don't know.

It kind of shocks me that I don't know. It's just my grandparents' parents. Wow.

Jane, Isabella, Mary, Ellen

My grandparents were all dead by the time I was out of primary school. My dad's parents died when he was a very young boy. I only really know their names and those of the previous generation because I've done some family tree related research. My DC only had one live grandparent after they were 3 and that one died when they were in High School. We are unfortunately not a very long lived family. There is currently no-one alive on mine or DHs side who is older than mid 60's. Obviously we are hoping to buck the trend.

Anna, Bronwen, May and Dorothy.

Elizabeth
Lily
Jessie
?

I only know one (which also shocked me when I thought about it!). She was called Daphne.

Honestly no idea about the other three.

Great X4 Grandmas:

Emma

Emma and Oline

Lilian
Elizabeth
Annie Elizabeth
Winifred Alice

Caroline
Louisa
Winifred
Phyllis

I think Winifred met me when I was a baby in 1976, then she died soon after. She was from Dorset & he was a Scottish sailor.

Lilian died in 1960, she was one of the first ever women soldiers who served in France in ww1 in the WRAC. Her husband was Jewish but converted to Christianity.

Elizabeth died in the 1920s I believe. Her docker husband was a bigamist when they got married & had 11 children.

Annie was rumoured to have been Romany, photos show she had dark olive skin & always wore her long black hair in ear plaits like Carrie Fisher in Star Wars.

The two who's names I know we're Jean and Winifred.
