	I wonder if Bessie might be a nickname and not her real name

Member Since: January 2010 Posts: 36 Send Message	It is a posibility all i know is that my late mother found her mother bessie in ireland so i have presumed that she was irish.

Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 1,288 Send Message	Yes Elizabeth, If it's the right family she's a sister to Bessie and that's the parents John and Ruth's marriage record. On the 1911 Census Rowland is probably a brother to Ruth. Do you think it could be the right family??? I was wondering how you came with Bessies birth year as 1903? Was it from some certificate or other? Kind regards, Cathy
