please could someone tell me how and why the name bromage changed to bromwich. it has made my tree confusing.

Did it actually change or was it mistranscribed? Remember, in days gone by, most people couldn't read or write so they didn't know if their name was mis-spelled. Phonetically the name is the same.

I have looked up some of the family and they are a mixture of spelling. in the same family.

MargaretM. is right, there were no standardised spellings in the past and you see all sorts of variations. One of the things which gives us a challenge! Names will vary for the same people on different records. Try saying them out loud and you can see why.



but really that does seem to be a different thread , and there are some more ...............

I see the birth Wheat/Bromage birth 1913. Chances are they didn't marry really.

Gosh...........you received a lot of info on that thread today.

Have you looked in "My Threads" to see if it is there?

I can't see a marriage for either of those names between the dates you give.

Are you certain that they married?
