Arthur you hit the nail on the head
Some of my classmates knew he was originally ca lled Feather but after University he became double-barrelled and with a refined accent to boot!!!!!!!
I believe he is still alive and an expert on the Dales-well he was an expert on everything else

J.W.F. told me in a letter that he hypered to a double barrelled one to increase his chances of obtaining a higher rank whilst on "national sevice"
Wish I`d done that as my middle name is FLETCHER

David, George W-F recently signed up to the KBGS website. Maybe you missed it. I wrote to him, mistakenly believing it was JJ W-F - who certainly does 'tune in' to the website from time to time.

Their sister taught me, and Terry Marston, at Eastwood Infants School. I too joined Holy Trinity Church choir, though only for a very short time - I wasn't too keen on the dresses!

My middle name is Woods but I have never had a satisfactory explanation as to why except that an uncle was similarly named.

Good job your first name wasn't "Peck" or "Oldmouse".

I don't have a middle name, but it could have been Hammond!!!

I do have a middle name and boy do I flaunt it.

There was an old man who lived down Lawkholme Lane called John Barrett. He was born on Mafeking Night. He was witness to a traffic incidence and was asked for his full name by the policeman, 'Nay tha dusna want that.',he told the police, the bobby insisted and wet his pencil, ' I tell thi tha dusna want it.' The policeman threatened him with hindering the police so he delivered, 'John Makeking Ladysmith Kitchener Baden Powell Barrett' Theer nah are yuh satisfied!!'

Tha certainly din't flaunt "de Fraine" much in 1C, John!
(I thowt "Marcus" were bad enough).

These revelations about middle names are all very interesting (and I'm keeping quiet about mine - and you keep your mouth shut on that one too, young Marston!), but surely, the 'Waddington' is not a middle name at all but rather his mother's maiden name; isn't that how 'double-headers' work?

His initials are "A.D." - probably increasingly appropriate as time goes by.
