No explanation given for the different spellings.Ealtram (talk) 19:26, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ealtram: At the time variant spellings were common. I have seen persons signing letters inconsistently, or senior officers transmitting a letter from their subordinates where the senior officer uses a different spelling for the junior officer's name than the one in the junior officer's signature. I also get a sense that in some cases newspaper reports were based on oral transmission of information gave rise to variant spellings. The problem goes beyond personal names. Around 1800 there was shift in usage between spellings where, for instance, "Rein Deer" became "Reindeer" and "Ring Dove" became "Ringdove". I try to use the spelling in the source document so that someone searching source documents can more readily find the info.Acad Ronin (talk) 19:46, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
