Re: Morrison/Mylvorrey
In Response To: Morrison/Mylvorrey ()

In the German marriage register for late 18th and early 19th C there are several cases in which the name Mylevorrey has been crossed thru and replaced by Morrison so it would appear that this anglisation was going on at that period (if they signed it was often Morrison) - Boyd replacing Boddaugh is another common 'rewriting' of names in this period
