    Following up on Sue's post I ordered a birth certificate for Jeannah as I had not heard of her before - she died 4 weeks later. That has now come, and I think that it may have been TEANANH. What do other's think?

    Note she was born in January, and the first letter of her name is nothing like the J in January. So, I'd agree it is Teananah, wherever that name came from. pwholt

    I was comparing it with the "J" in James and the "T" in Tewkesbury ......... But as you say where the name came from.........

    Her birth was registered on the same day as her death, so that whether that has a bearing or not I don't know.
