Title: Molly I Gordon
Post by: SWH1 on Sunday 25 January 15 15:34 GMT (UK)

Known as Tibby. I have enough on her war years and found a web site giving the DOB as 1985 and death as 1970. What i would like to know is where she was born, research has informed me that her father was a J s Gordon living at Connagedale, Garmouth. Anyone up for a challenge?

Thank you, its the same person just odd why she is listed under a different name with the SWH.

As Molly is a nickname for Mary  maybe her parents gave her original baptised name for the Roll of Honour :)

Also Tibby is a nickname for Isabella. So Mary Isabella could easily have been known as Molly or Tibby.
