Re: Opinion on Surname Origin
James,
This type of miss-spelling was very commonplace. My names history contains Bramhill, Bramhall, Bramall etc. You have to bear in mind that few people in this era knew how to write, let alone spell their names, so it was left to the registrar, and therefore many variations abound.
You might start looking by going here
There also seems to exist a more substanial record re "1790-92: journal of Capt John McCluer on voyage from Bombay to the Pelew Islands (E India Co vessel)" at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/n...asp?SIR=O43238
