Is it correct to assume that Nancy is a variant of Ann?

Yes Rob, I think it is
My Grandma was Elizabeth Ann - they called her Nancy
My Great Grandma was Hannah - they called her Nancy
Another Great Grandma was Mary Ann - they called her Nancy
And another Great Grandma was definitely Nancy
All this information from my mom - who really thought they were all called Nancy until I started researching
