I'd go with Henry Pudman and Mr Charles Smelt Mckha.
Interesting on the probate that Henry is 'the Reverend Putman otherwise Pudman'.

Also 'house', yes.
Lane, Burgess: Cheshire. Finney, Rogers, Gilman:Derbys
Cochran, Nicol, Paton, Bruce:Scotland. Bertolle:London
Bainbridge, Christman, Jeffs: Staffs

Thank you Goldie.  Yes, I thought that interesting too.  It’s not as if it is so different you would have thought a note of the different pronunciation was necessary.
