Interestingly, a lot of boys and girls had "Feargus O'Connor" as middle names (e.g. Jane Fergus O'Connor Mellard). Several boys were simply called "Feargus O'Connor" and I even found a Sarah Ferga Catherine Dixon Lumb, which looks like an attempt to feminise Feargus. Surnames of Chartists appear to have been popularly used as middle names in this year -- Frost, Binns, Williams -- and often several together e.g. Rosa Emmett O'Connor Frost Wadworth and O'Connor Frost McDougall Dawson.
