  • Notes 
    • Samuel Hart / Charles Merton
      Samuel changed his name to Charles Merton.
      We have no idea why.
      He marries Alice Lynn as Hart in 1876
      This seems to have happened in early 1876.
      In the 1881 census he is Charles Merton and the rest of the family are also Merton
      Their first 6 children all have Merton as part of their forename but have Hart as their surname.
      His 7th and later children,were born as Merton
