I had a quick look in Ancestry - there are several women with Hide as their
middle name but most of the use of Hide as a first name are men. I then
looked at those who were married to a husband named Hide, but couldn't see
any of them who were lacemakers.
I doubt that the women with middle name Hide would have a bobbin with that
name on with no sign of their first name.
It could well be the letters for a secret message: Happy I...... Dearest
Emily (couldn't think of an "I" word); or perhaps the initials of their 4
children: Henry, Irene, David, Elizabeth
Malvary in Ottawa where we have managed, so far, to miss all the big snow
dumps that have happened all around.
