Well, yes I agree with "not many could read nor write", and yes you are close to the fact that the "Registrar spelled the names as he heard them", accent and all, and I believe he also must have been smoken' something... So ok, we will use which ever name is best known. thanks

There is no such thing as 'the correct name' - at that time most people couldn't read and write and names were written down as they were heard. Elinor's baptism record (on Wedgeworth-109) has her name recorded as Wodgworth - which seems a bit of a mix of both surnames. Reading her fathers bio would indicate that Wadsworth is the more correct surname. You can enter the other/s in the 'other surnames field'.
