Having only started my tree a few weeks ago I'm finding it difficult as so many people seem to be using 2nd names, but one of the first people we looked for on my husband's side takes some beating.
He knew his great-grandmother as Alice Elizabeth <surname> or Liza, supposedly from London, with a sister Ada. We found Alice Elizabeth <surname> with a sister Ada, both right age, in Woolwich and got quite excited. Couldn't find a logical reason how she ended up in Wales though. Eventually tracked her down as Margaret Alice Eliza <surname> born in Cheshire.
