Just from a personal experience of odd middle names. I took my CROFT middle
name to be the mother's surname and searched and searched. Quite by chance I
came across the fact that there is a small village in Herefordshire called
Croft. And guess what? That's where they all were!!
So a try at Cherer might show a place name given nostalgically to a child .
Funny that my Croft was also a Smith!!
