[QUOTE=maggie_4_7;63297]To be honest its not possible to know is it really.

But if you can find out, I feel you should make the effort. When I started, I was interested in the genealogy, rather than the fh side. Progressively, I feel that some ancestors might not recognise the thumbnail sketches I have of them.
All the Edmunds I have in my tree... when they appear as Edward in a census, it must mean that they were known as Ned or Eddie - but which?
And yes, I value photos hugely. Physical descriptions I am a little more wary of. I watch men shrinking, then growing again. Hair colour changing, even eyes. Some must have been more accurate than others - but which?
