One R or Two?

[edit]

There seem to be various references to Carrington with two R's and some with one. The references regarding his time as Governor of New South Wales all point to two Rs. The Lords Documents refer to either spelling!--Oliver Nouther (talk) 09:57, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's very complicated. Some single R's are correct, and some double R's are correct. The article needs a close inspection. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 10:39, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The title has always been spelled with two R's. Nobility is oftenreferred to by the title, thus in this case "(Lord) Carrington" (until he was created marquess, at which point he was referred to as "(Lord) Lincolnshire"), which might be confusing when the surname is spelled with only one R.
The 1st Baron Carrington's surname was Smith. The 2nd Baron changed his surname to Carrington with two R's, the same spelling as the title. The 3rd Baron (this article) and his brothers removed one R, changing their surname to Carington, with one R. The 3rd Baron later added Wynn for himself and his family.

Robert Wynn Carrington, 1st Marquess of LincolnshireRobert Wynn-Carington, 1st Marquess of Lincolnshire – According to the Baron Carrington article, the last name is spelled with one 'R', and the title with two, although there is inconsistent spelling in some articles. In this particular article, it says that he changed his name to Wynn-Carington (with one R) with Royal License. The name of the article should reflect that. Also see how the name of the current holder of the title Baron Carrington, Peter Carington, 6th Baron Carrington, is spelled. I think the name rings a bell (at least for people over 35).
