And on the dad side which is equally fascinating:

Harry Musk 1863-1917 - Ancestry®https://www.ancestry.co.uk › harry-musk-24-3fpz36k
Born in Exning, Suffolk, England on 13 Sep 1863 to William Exning Bridgeman and Eliza Musk. Harry Musk married Lucy Frances Champion and had 6 children.



Also his mom's name, Haldeman.

Quote:
The name Haldeman comes from Oldham, in Lancashire. This was a town near the city of Manchester; it has since been absorbed by that city. The place-name Oldham is derived from the Old English elements old, which means old, and ham, which means farm.
