Scantelbury of Altarnun


The name of Scantelbury is in itself quite and enigma. Because the name has three sylabols and each sylabol has a number of used spellings, it become quite common to have the name spelled differently almost on ever record that a family's records are found in. The first sylabol 'Scant' has at least four spellings of 'Scant,' 'Scent,' 'Skant,' and 'Skent.' The seond sylabol has commonlly three spelling with possibly more of 'tel,' 'tell,' and 'tle.' And then the last sylabol has two common spellings with possible other variations as well such as 'bury' and 'berry' to start. So each time a cleric spells or transcribes the name, there is always the likelihood of it being spelled differently. Take the family of William Skantellbury and his wife Lovday/Loveday for example:


                                     William Skantellbury = Lovday/Loveday
