    The middle name was often the surname of the mother.
    OR another member of the family.
    I have known it to be the Minister who Christened the baby or the Doctor or nurse who delivered it !
    Have you checked any of the possibilities?

    Good luck

    ha ha = that's why it's called Family Search !!
    Just look at your Certificates it's amazing what you'll find.
    Dont forget the witness at the wedding, a child is often given the name of a good friend.
    Good luck
