I was intrigued with this middle name:   

"Elizabeth Flowerdew Harrison" when I first came across her and thought her parents must have had some sort of romantic notions.  Although I've not yet come across it in my family tree research I have seen that it was/is a proper surname.

Just spotted a Maria FlowerdeN Lubbock married Isaac Bailey in Norwich 1836
