- ^ a b John Tapin writes in Shakespeare's Granddaughter and the Bagleys of Dudley published by the Black Country Society June 2005 (Originally published in 38/4, 39/1 and 39/2 of The Blackcountryman) that in most existing 1600s contemporary records the spelling of the name was with a double 'r', however that it should be noted that the single 'r' is used in some instances, and this is the way the family spells their name today.
