Lovies of Scotland

In my experience it all depended on the census taker. A lot of people could not spell nor write. census takers usually got the job because they could write and thespelling of names was down to them.The Lovie's in my tree are Lovies from about 1800 or so but before that a mixture of Lovey and Lovie. I have also seen the IGI with the 2 spellings in the same family, so it appears to be a person's own interpretation
