Name Variations

[Zelley]

Good to see someone researching the BAKER name, no
significant variations noted, but maybe some have
BACKER, or BAKERS.

But my Richard Baker's spouse has three variations:
Valence, Vellens and Vallance.

I've got Therren, Ternan, Tearney & Tierney - all the same family!

I have:
Rees and Reese
Tweddell and Tweddle (which reminds me I must post about my mystery Tweddell sometime)
Lumsden and Lumsdon

but my Browns are all Browns and my Joneses are all Joneses (except those that were smiths! - blacksmiths!)

What about the Browne variation, and were any of your Smiths
"whitesmiths".
Did any of your Tweddles stray into the Twidale trees?

[Zelley]

Just looking at this one now...
Beaver/Beever/Beavers/Beevers all the same family over 4 census

What about Beevor, and did any of the Beevor folks join
forces with the Pots to become a hyphenated tree
Beevor-Pots?

Banister, Bannister, Bannester

Any connection to Roger B. the four-minute miler?

XPhile, I notice reference to Godbold in the signature.
Are you directly connected to the Godbold Families of Suffolk
or did yours hang their hats in Essex or London Town.
Did any have the usual spelling errors such as Goldbold
or Gobald.  And did you know the Godbold name can be
found in the "Domesday Book" of the 1080's, thanks
to old King William aka Duke of Normandy.

Hi,
Interesting topic.
I have

Peirce,Pierce, Pierse,Perce,Pearce,Pearse,Pevice,Perice,Price and Reace.

I am still trying to trace some Peirce's!! on various census years
but with such variations I find that it is looking for a needle in a haystack.
                   Regards
                                Geoff

A new addition to my long list is PENCE.

The only Godbold in my family tree that I know so far is Lydia Godbold, who married Robert Warner in 1776. They are my great great great great great grandparents, and came from Ashfield-Cum-Thorpe, Suffolk.

Well, then if Lydia is your  blood kin as of 1776, then you are
likely  related to all the Godbold's of Suffolk, even the ones that
moved to other locations including the ones that emigrated to
the USA and settled in places like Alabama, South Carolina etc.
