My grandmother is listed in the Nicholas County, KY marriage bond file as "Laura Toomey, daughter of Jeremiah Toomey married to William Sherman Ramey, son of Jack and Mollie Buckler Ramey". Her name was most definitely NOT Laura. It was Arabelle. A mistake was made on the part of the recording clerk but if I had not known that for a fact I would have been completely thrown off by the "Laura". Another instance - my maternal great grandmother is listed in obitiuaries and on death records as Pollyanna Caughey Herrington (in one document it's listed as Pollyanna COY). Her marriage bond lists her as Mary Anne Caughey. I have no doubt that these two Georges are one and the same. Good luck and keep digging!
