My family has often wondered about the origin of the name of one of my
grandmother's brothers:
Elonza Omega CORNWELL born Rayleigh 1891 Aug 24
died Southchurch 1913 Nov 22
Any suggestions? Maybe his parents hoped he'd be the last? ... but he
ended up 9 out of 12.

Septimus just means "seventh" so could have been given to the seventh son.

his father had Septimus as a middlename ... does anyone know if this used
to be a common name??
