ArchivesI have an idea . . .
in reply to a message by kat2004
Many old records were badly written, and mistakes creep in all of the time. Is there any possibility that her name was actually Bereniss - which would probably be a variation of Berenice? It's pretty easy for an 'r' to become an 'n' when old, hand-written-with-ink records are transcribed.
Does that sound like a possibility?

No, she signed her marriage cert and its definatley an N not R. Also her daughter and granddaughter have the same name which make it all the more frustrating when I havent a clue where it comes from! My grandad can remember an AUnt Beanie which is what she was called for short. Thanks for your help though, Someone somewhere will know!

Bother! There goes that theory :-D
Hmm . . . how much of the family tree from earlier on do you have? Could her name be composed of a mixture of names, such as her grandparents' or great-grandparents' names?
