Michael  :)

when looking at certificates or census records you will find that first names
can be in several forms
for example -

jane or jean or jeanie
christian or christine or christina
margaret or maggie(this can sometimes be peggie)

william = Wm.
james = Jas.

ann = nancy is an example on your tree i think

i'm sure you'll come come across many more in your research

just another joy of doing family research  ;D

Hi, My husband's G. Grandmother (maternal) was Alexina, nee Cormack,   born 20/9/1845, married 22/12/1865
her parents were William Cormack and Alexandrina nee Sutherland, it may be a different 'line', but you might
come across these names during your research.
         Good luck
