pre-1700 records & name spellings ? (General)
I have my family history back to a marriage in 1703 & want to trace earlier, however name changes / spellings in the sparse written-records on-line make it difficult.
My ancestor Thomas Mathway (m:1703) is also listed variously as Muthway, Mutheway & Mudway in records (possibly due to interpretations of spoken names by non-local record-keepers ?). After 1744, the family is permanently "Mudway".
Between 1588 & 1700 there are also references to FOD families called Mothway, Monthway, Mouthway, Moothway, Mothorway & Motherway in records - so could these be the same family ?
Is there a way to do further checking on-line or do I need to hire a UK genealogist ?
thanks, Ray in Oz
