If the middle name of the second son is MELROSE would that indicate the wife’s mother’s maiden name? Trying to figure out where MELROSE came from! Dot Hosking Huntley in SW Oregon

Have a look at http://www.cornwall-opc.org/Resc/naming_patterns.php but there don't appear to be any rigid rules -in my family I have seen the grandmother's maiden name as well as godparents.
