This month I am picking one of the weekly themes "How do you spell that?" Because there are so many name variants in the Tilbee line.
I am sure that Alice [insert link] wouldn't have been bothered or even asked how she spelled her maiden name of Tilbee or was that Tilby or even Tilbe. There might well have been other variants but those are the one's I have come across so far. Alice only made her mark on her marriage certificate so it is likely she couldn't read either so probably didn't even realise there were different ways of spelling her maiden name.
Alice's father was Henry Tilbe/Tilby/Tilbee and he had married a Dorcas Vant. Even that name isn't without it's variations of Vaunt, Vantt and Vante
I doubt the situation changed once Alice married Samuel White and she changed her name. Would she have been asked the same questions I have been asked;. "How do you spell that?", "Do you spell that with an 'i' or a 'y'?", "Is that White like the colour or Wight as in the Isle of Wight?"
My surname changed from White to Graydon when I got married and it didn't get any easier and so I usually spell it out when asked my name otherwise it becomes Grayden, Greydon, Greyden, Graydon or even Graddon.
One key tip for new researchers is "Check it Out". Check out the spellings of names and places; check the dates -is it even possible that your research ancestor was even alive/married/dead for that event..... So many things to check out!!
