- ^ The middle name 'Marlin' was inherited from his great great great grandmother, Mary Marlin (born 1723), who married Uriah Balchin (born 1712) on 18 January 1748 in Guildford, Surrey. All subsequent generations of this branch of the Balchin family have used 'Marlin' as a middle name. Marriage licence held by the London Metropolitan Archives.
