Title: Mayman vs Maynard
Post by: Benody1921 on Tuesday 25 April 23 17:21 BST (UK)

I’m not sure if this is the correct riding to post in but it may not matter. My 5th great grandfather, Jabez Maybard, married in Doncaster in 1793. The image shows his name as Jabesh Mayman. All other records succeeding the marriage record shows Jabez Maynard. The family all went by the surname Maynard and a son and grandsons were named Jabez Maynard. I have no records prior to his marriage in 1793. He was born about 1770 but I’m not sure where. He died in Drypool in 1818.

What could be the reason for the name change? His signature on the banns also shows Jabesh Mayman.

Thanks so much for any knowledge you can pass on to me :)

I see the Banns image as Jabesh (?) Maynard.

Okay so his name is likely Jabesh Maynard. This man is giving me a run for my money. Thank you for being extra sets of eyes for me.
