Can anyone help me find the correct spelling of the surname Boak / BOAG / BACHOP / BACHOPE / etc.?
The lady I am researching my family tree family is (Janet Bachope etc …) which is my great, great, the grandmother was born around 1780. There are many different spellings in my investigation and I would like to know which is most likely to be correct. She married Robert Russell in Thornliebank, Glasgow, UK.
His assumption is that any spelling is more accurate than another. The reality is that the surname spelling were very loose for hundreds of years, especially in the 18th century. The answer is that the spelling was so good as the person entering the name. She could have given 10 different spellings of his surname, the 10 different registers. If you are convinced, look at William Shakespeare. He a good education and could read and write with clarity, but he was very inconsistent in the spelling of his name. Here's an interesting article that could help see that there was a time not long ago, when surnames … were not "important" and her spelling was so … lax. http://shakespeareauthorship.com/name1. html
