Has anyone else seen 'Topsey' as a middle name before?
In the parish baptism record it was spelt as 'Charlotte Topsie Ede' and in the transcript of the birth register it is as 'Charlotte Topsey Ede'. I've not come across this name as a middle name before, has anyone else seen it?
When did the phrase 'Topsey Turvey' come about and how? Do you suppose she was a breech birth? She was the first child in the family that I've found and it was not her mother's maiden name.
Also which version of her name is the correct name? The name she was given in the eyes of God or the name as registered? It may be that the rector just spelt it wrong.
