Hi Jim, I have an entry from www.irishgenealogy.ie<http://www.irishgenealogy.ie> where the father and bride have different spellings of their name and one where the bride's name on the main entry is different from hers in the solemnization section. I guess that people weren't bothered that much about spelling. My great-grandfather was one of 8 children, the birth of 5 was registered as DORAGH and 3 as DORRAGH while the spellings on their baptism could be different again. I've just finished a novel by Bernard Cornwell set in Shakespeare's time and in the notes he mentioned that we have 6 documents with Shakespeare's signature and none of them are spelt Shakespeare.
