Notes for Nellie Keight
Her birth index:

Name:                Mother's Maiden Surname:
KEIGHT, NELLY        JONES  
GRO Reference: 1898  D Quarter in CANNOCK  Volume 06B  Page 510

The censuses always spell her name Nellie but they also always give her a birth year of 1898, including the precise birth date of the 1939 census which agrees with the birth date given on the death certificate for her death in 1967.  Further her daughter (Eunice) Peggy was also living there when she gave birth to her daughter Julie in 1959.  So Nellie is the girl born Nelly.
