Certainly with this ‘Cissie’ a family member remembers her married surname name. So I think that it’s got to Mary as I have her married to him.

Oh the joys !!!!

My grandma was known by all as "Cissie" - she was the eldest sister in quite a long family. She was really called Annie Elizabeth, but no-one ever used that.

She was, I suppose, really "Sissie" (i.e., "Sister")

Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
