I think it is a second name.  The first letter looks like L (see the word Labourer) but I can't make out a recognisable name (it looks like Lomb).   Joy ________________________________ From: Hilton Doidge <[email protected]> To: CORNISH-GEN <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 19 January 2013, 22:54 Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Cornwall Parish Registers, 1538-2010, Calstock FamilySearch England, Cornwall Parish Registers, 1538-2010 Cornwall, Calstock Shows... https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11852-54991-61?cc=1769414&wc=MMVH-N1C:569942177 Page 60 Baptism, Calstock, Cornwall Year 1836 Number 475 June 19... reveals...

Hi Hilton, It's a second forename. I agree that the first letter is an upper case "L". The rest looks like 'Lomb; to me too. OPC database transcriber also picked it up as "Lomb". In the case of an unusual middle name, it's frequently a mother's maiden name. Sure enough, Calstock marriage on September 21, 1829 John DOIDGE to Jane LOAM, both sojourners. In 1851 census, Jane DOIDGE's birthplace is given as St Agnes c.1810. OPC database has the baptisms of two daughters of James and Grace in St Agnes: Mary LOAM (December 25, 1807) and Jenifer LOAME (April 30, 1809).
