THE RYERSON INDEX

to death notices and obituaries in Australian newspapers

Is it a NICKNAME or a MAIDEN NAME

 
 

Points to note:

  • "Neale" looks much more like a surname than a nickname.

  • There are no surnames mentioned in the body of the notice, so we have no evidence that Neale is a surname.

  • Our standard rule is that surnames are to the left of the comma, and nicknames are to the right. Hence we index Neale as a nickname.
