View Full Version : Possible full names or variants of "Wence"

I have an ancestor, a lady named Wence. Sometimes it's Wince, sometimes it's Winnie. But all her descendants knew her as Wence/Wince.

Hunting for Wence on census records has proven unfruitful, so I want to try possible variants of her name. Like sometimes Eliza or Lizzies are listed as Elizabeth on other censuses, I am hoping maybe Wence is listed elsewise as well.

So far I have:

Lavinia/Levinia (et al)
Vincey
Vinnie
Vence
Gwen
Gwendolen
Winifred
Winona (long shot)

We aren't Italian by even an iota, so I doubt Vincenza or anything similar is what I am looking for.

Thanks!
