Di Pickens, tho not sure if that's Diana Pickens or Diana Di Pickens

The colon used to signify an abbreviation as the fullstop does now, so I would say that Di: is short for Diana.

Thank you I thought it was Pickens and then wondered if that first letter was an R.

I wouldn't say it was nessesarily her maiden name though
