Hi Melanie, The father, Charles Tottenham married Elizabeth Loftus and changed his name to Loftus, as a condition of inheriting her uncle's estate, and named the first son Jqhn (second son Robert, my ancestor). His brother, John married Elizabeth's sister, Anne, and named their son Charles. Robert changed his name back to Tottenham to inherit his grandfather, John Tottenham Sr.'s estate......There....lot's of fun from memory......hope I got it right. Jack
