Have just discovered great grand parents on other side we're called:

Lincoln Russell (b1895)
James Harridine Henry (b1889)

I do find it fascinating. James does seem to be an often used name on both sides for many generations and will likely be ds's middle name. I'm still not 100% sure on the first name... I bought ANOTHER baby name book to go through yesterday 😬🤷‍♀️

Michael Ralph (I think his middle name is Ralph) and Ronald... blimey. I can't remember his middle name. How awful! Ds1 has Ronald as a middle name. I've had lots of nasty comments about it over the years Angry
