I thought I'd add a little on the naming patterns for whatever it is worth! Here in the states I have found many times where the mother or maybe I should say the maternal maiden names were used in middle names for girls/boys. At the beginning of 1800s I had one where all 3 girls had the middle name of CROOM. That pretty much told me that the mother's surname was CROOM and sure enough it was. Now this may have been an Irish/Scot surname originally, I haven't gotten them over the pond yet! I have a couple of Bute ancestors where the girls' middle name was CAMPBELL and another that was MORRISON, I assume they might be female surnames, but I haven't been able to put it together yet. That's all folks! Jeri in North Carolina, US
