I think it would be more accurate to say that the Billies, without close connections to the family (as, say, the Doctor has) don't know "Captain Nancy, Amazon Pirate", while they do know "Peggy" as the diminutive for Margaret. Mrs. Dixon also addresses them as "Miss Ruth and Miss Peggy" in WH, although Mrs. Tyson, just up the road (and the Amazon) from Beckfoot calls her "Miss Nancy" in PP.
