Glew / Glen Confusion!

For ages I thought my great granddads surname was Glen, and it was just a transcription error on George Glen's Jr wedding certificate (found via some helpful people on another message board, rootchatters I am sure!), however having looked for his parents marriage George and Eliza Howard, I notice the surname Glew is this a transcription error again (should I say before?) or have I been researching the family tree with the wrong surname?  Bearing in mind I got Eliza's maiden name by ordering a birth certificate for George Glen.  I didn't use the full BMD registers so it could be a different couple married in 1866 Clifton Gloucestershire but it is such a striking coincidence.

Just checked the full register for Dec Qu 1866 and it is Glew.  It's a typed record, still could have been mistranscribed.  Will check in the census

Hi, They seem to be all present and correct as Glen in all the census! Didn't find a matching Glew couple in 1871.

Thanks for confirming that - still wondering what is happening is the think Bristolian accent making Glen sound like Glew?  so the father and Son's marriage some 36 years later has the same mistake - does Lilly's marriage to George Dyer have the same transcription error (not sure of the date) if it is an accent thing.

Would have thought it's more likely to be bad handwriting!
