Look for a paternal grandmother. Some of my ancestors were named for their
paternal grandmothers or even great grandmothers. For instance if your
ancestor's first name is Elizabeth, look for a paternal grandmother or great
grandmother who's first name is Elizabeth and last name is Henry. Also look
for aunt's, step & half-sister, cousin's, and close friends who are named
Elizabeth Henry.
Hope this helps.
