Use of two spellings for the same name was not uncommon eg. McIntosh and MacIntosh
It might have been a mistake when erected, I could not believe that in a place like Gourdon, where he was born and lived all his life, it was not noticed at the time.
If it has been there in this format since the 1920's and none of his family members had it changed I would see no reason to change it now. _________________ Jim

I just think that getting it right is something which makes researching easier and that with time it will be harder for family members to find.... |
