William and John Dyons - father and son murder of brother/uncle - hanged at York April 1828 ....

I've checked FMP and Familysearch but can't find anyone whose birth was registered in England as " Milton Wheeler" - there are several males of the right sort of age with 3 first names the last one of which is " M " but I can't tell what the M stands for. Looking at historic Wheelers it seems a lot of them had " Milton" or "Melton" as a middle name.
Does anyone have an idea of what other first names he had?

Hi vicq Thanks for looking. That's the only name I've seen him referred to in newspaper reports. It's not important. Just natural curiosity/nosiness making me try to find out who his dad was:)
The papers state his dad was a convicted murderer - they don't give his name (at least from the articles I've read)

Found the dad - Russell Gainford "when he was six,(approx 1976/77) Wheeler's father Russell Gainford was jailed for life for murdering a 77 year old woman in Accrington, Lancashire. He was released on license in 1992" totalcrime.co.uk/2014/06/21/murderbook-1900-1999/Part of me wondered if he'd changed his name (not uncommon with murderers) or possibly the mother remarried, took on a new surname etc

L-R
Yes thanks for name:) - I remember the Wheeler Case in 1994-5 in Hounslow .... Haven't a record of Russell Gainford - in 1994/5 Wheeler was 23/24 so that 'six or seven years' maybe as late as 1978; maybe conviction in 1979 ....
