How Is It Spelled?:
Or Mispelled
My latest research uncovered another generation: My great great great
Grand Parents.
The problem was spelling. John Vallely was misspelled in numerous
documents that obscured the family tree. His father Hugh was listed as
Hugh Valily.
John is listed as Vallaley, Vallelley, Vallely.
I'm convinced that people just could not spell and that confuses a lot of
genealogical records.
Claire Vallely emailed in 2015:
I just wanted to let you know that here in Northern Ireland we spell our name
Vallelly and I didn't see it listed as a variant! Those with that spelling seem
to be from one family that divided into Protestant And Catholic Vallellys due to
a marriage between a Protestant Male Vallelly and a Catholic female who brought
up her children in her own faith!!
