Hi Robert, Yes your right proving it is something else, but as we all had experience in variant name changes within family groups it is always a good idea to keep an open mind, literacy was never a strong suit through the ages, and unless you had a vicar that was really literate then your name was often spelt how it sounded . Another is names were changed in spellings so i have learned is that some family members with same names wanted distinguished from other members. I grew up as a Ewers and believe me the spellings we got in the through the mail were quite amazingly different from Yours, Uers, Yous, Ewes, Youls, and my ultimate favorite Sewers, all human error, but then again we are all human! Thanks Annie
