If you replace the "n" in Renshaw with "m" and use the a-e-i-o-u vowels after the R, you get several more possible ways to spell Renshaw. Does anyone know if Ramshaw, for instance, is an alternate spelling? I also found a Renslaw and a Rensham in census indexes. I guess I need to get a little more inventive with these spellings -- the indexers wrote what they saw, and sometimes they "saw" with a certain amount of creativity. Eleanor
