Good Morning
Perhaps somebody can help with this.
Grandmother often called grandfather Jamesee (probably spelt wrong) and he called her Tinkie.
Any chance this nickname would link to a first name common during the late 1800's early 1900's.
Thanks

Hi Harold,
Nora's ideas are good, I always thought it was an abbreviation of Tinkerbell, as in Peter Pan. I do not know if it is used in the book.
If you Google Tinkie, lots of Dutch pages come up, my Dutch is rusty non-existant so I do not know the link there but if you have Dutch links that may explain it.
Kazza.

No Dutch, but I believe grandfather's family was a combination of irish and french.
