Minnie -- that is amazing and may begin to connect some branches.My grandfather, William Cairns Howden, had a younger sister named Lily DUDGEON Howden.Lily's grandson, Colin Wilson (who lives near Bath) says that his mother told him that Lily Dudgeon Howden (Cunningham) got her middle name from a friend of her mother's (Janet Buchanan Polson Howden).From what you've written, there may well have been a Howden cousinship also involved in Lily's naming.I will get in touch w/Colin and see what his mother has to say (she is still alive).Best, Teri Howden Freedman
