@cafenoirbiscuit thats gorgeous! Is there a story of why?

RewildingAmbridge · 25/06/2022 15:41

One was Nell (Eleanor) , one was Lillian (Lil) no idea about the others on my dad's side my paternal grandparents both died when I was young, they had my dad late so great grandparents were long gone.
Grandmothers Irene and Violet , step grandmother Frances (but closer than the other two regardless of blood)
Grandfathers Ernest and George, great grandfathers only know of two both called William one maternal one paternal

@Theoldwoman
You have two sets of grandparents and four sets of great grandparents (four great grandmothers, which is what you asked for).
