Hi everyone, I am wondering if the name Sarah and Susan can be interchanged. None of the sites I found really help me.

I have never heard of that happening, Margot. I could imagine that with bad handwriting they could be confused, particularly if the riser on the h was not clear. regards, Dai marsco wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am wondering if the name Sarah and Susan can be interchanged.

Hi Margot, I have someone on my tree who was baptised Susan Jane in 1831 in NSW. She appears on her marriage in 1848 as Sarah Jane, second marriage in 1862 as Sarah Jane, and on her death certificate she is back as Susan Jane. I don't know if that answers your question, or if we are both just confused.
