Amelia Jane (Dad’s paternal grandmother)
Dagmara Maria (Mum’s maternal grandmother)
I don’t know what the other ones names were. My mum already refers to her paternal grandmother as Nana “Surname” and I don’t think I’ve ever asked!

I only know my mum's side of the family, but they were Bridget and Margaret.

Mary
Margaret

How odd, I’ve just realised I have no idea! We called my Dad’s grandparents Grandma/ Grandad Surname always. And I’ve no idea about my mum’s grandparents. I should probably ask!

Irene and Hilda.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 25/06/2022 17:50

No idea. My grandparents were born between 1893 and 1907 so no idea who their parents were!
