Based on my own genealogical research, you can’t expect exact fidelity over time once you go back 120 years or so. From my Irish side we haves back and forth over recorded name, baptism records, common names, nicknames and what all. Not to mention just poor handwriting. Forebears that maybe couldn’t write, local variations of names, etc. Walsh/Walch/Welch/Welsh Mary Ann could be: Maria Mariah Anne Marianne Annie Anna depending on the time, relation and who said it to the census guy |
