Her mother, born Damaris Cradock, was a widow with several children from her first marriage (three sons and a daughter—who was also, confusingly, called Damaris) when she married DM 's father. From her second marriage...

There were two fairly prominent contemporary Major families. One, living in Hampshire, included Dorothy Major, who married a son of Oliver Cromwell . The other lived in Blackfriars Road, London.
