All kinds of letters come and go over time. If you match everything else up then chances are it's them. Sheila

It may just be human error, the spelling in some of my census has slight differences but if all other info correct then I've assumed it was a spelling error, remember not everyone was literate so couldn't tell how to spell the name.
