Hi all, Could someone please advice me about a name change. I have a Fredrick Warne whom seems to be registered as Fredrick Wearn. On his marrage certificate it is spelt as Warne his dad's name is spelt this way as well. Can anyone please explain were the Wearn spelling might come from. Many Thanks Steve

Hello Steve I was on this web site yesterday; http://members.lycos.co.uk/s0uthbury/ The site owner is Ann Barrett who has done extensive research on the Islands history & it's people. On there you will find a page regarding Warne/Wearn & variants. My maiden name was WAREN, so know only too well how things get misplelt! Happy hunting.
