Dear Helen, Thank you for the research I don't know where the "Churton" comes from as the mother was a CHASTON from the Aldeburgh area. All three daughters were baptised/christened on the same day Martha Chaston Mortimer, Barbara Mullinger Mortimer and Ann Gillingham Mortimer the last two have middle names that just don't fit with anything else in the family, whether it was a ploy to "keep in" with a landlord, employer etc as was the custom in some families, might be an option but I don't think we will find out Regards Roger
