Different Surname Spellings

This information was prepared by Bob Chown as an aid to Woodchurch Ancestry Group members in identifying ancestors. Throughout the

centuries, but particularly early on, spelling varied, sometimes enormously. This document shows members where else they should look. It

does not infer that the surnames referenced are all members of the same family, although that may be the case. If any member finds another

example not included, please contact Bob (bob.chown@btinternet.com). Document layout by Gary Samson.
