There were no spelling rules at the time so the name could be spelled either way. It all depended on how the person writing it down thought it was spelled themselves. So don't let the spelling throw you off. What is important is the amount of supporting sources or clues you have to support what you find.

The difficulty I am experiencing I believe is simply a result of spelling errors. My grandfather's name was Hamilton Rea (wray) (Ray)-spouse Elizabeth Hyde(married Dec 16/1859) of Dungannon, Co. Tyrone. It is from this point that I am at a standstill. I would like someone to assist/direct me in this pursuit when the spelling of last names is incorrect. How does one determine which "tree branch" To use. In my brief searching, the Wray name is popular in this region but I find myself utterly confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
