Re: Ramsey
In Response To: Re: Ramsey ()

I noticed that there were some early Ramsey surname marriages entered in "All Resources" on Familysearch.org, with the Source given as parish registers. However when I checked the Andreas and Maughold ones, I found that every one was an error, with the transcriber assuming that "Ramsey" following the entry was part of the groom's surname, whereas it was indicating that he came from out of the parish, i.e. Ramsey.

I think this is what has created the confusion.
