Hi,
Thanks for reading.
I am trying to work out why my ancestors name on his marriage records would state his name was Jo. Flett but on his daughters birth certificate it would state Adam Flait. The surnames I am okay with as both are variations on the surname Flett but the first name is stumping me.
Here are the details
Jo. Flett married Ann Groundwater Firth and Stenness,Orkney,Scotland 01 Jan 1734
Daughter Katharine Flett born 06 May 1744 to Adam Flett and Ann Groundwater, Firth and Stenness, Orkney, Scotland
Any advice would be appreciated. I have been unable to locate Adam Fliat ( Flett) in the Orkney birth records so maybe he might be listed under what Jo. stands for
Thank you
