Is it Billingham or Bellingham ?

[rockyfowler]

Def Bellingham but it always ends up written as either unless its your name-you put as you like -does it matter ?

[grangers14]

In my view it should be Billingham. That was how she was registered and some times used...

Some of the name variations can be difficult as they do change? I and E's often mistaken but then carried on.

I think change to Billingham. I will have a look through the Bellinghams that have been added. If it seems correct add on the home page to check Bellingham too.

Have just added as Bellingham do i change it back ?

Her Children are rgistered with both names

[grangers14]

I think Billingham. Add a note the name surname can sometimes be Bellingham and I will add on the home page of BCC check.
If you don't mind!

[kdwoodie]

Changed all to Billingham as all of James and Lydias children are registered BILLINGHAM

Add as birth record please. Unless an obvious mistake!
I have added on the home page to check Bellingham too. But please note the name variation.
Names change as people become more literate
