     Following the usual Genealogical practice regarding the recording of persons Surnames, with this family I have attempted to use the Surname that the person was first Registered with at the Birth or Baptism. Subsequent changes to their Surname by choice; by Marriage or by mis-transcription are used in the events in order that other researchers might find it easier to locate in the records on-line.¹²
