I think I may have finally solved the mystery regarding the name of Charles George Goss Clarke (born 1835 to William Clarke and Elizaeth nee Griffiths), and it wasn't by finding the mysterious Charles George Goss.

CGG Clarke had an older cousin (by 23 years) named Charles George Morse, who lived next door on Blakeney Hill.

There is a possibility, if not a probability, that the minister may have heard "Goss" rather than "Morse". Or am I stretching it a bit too far?

When my gran was christened, the minister asked "what do you name this child", and her mother said, "Patience Nellie, Sir". And that is how he christened her . . . as Patience Nellie Sir Crowder! Her siblings thought it was hilarious.
