These names seem familiar to me - I think we need to read through this old thread:

Also this one:

Callen / Calland would not be a case of changing their name, just people pronouncing / spelling it differently. A lot of people could not read and write in those days, so they would not be able to tell the clerks etc how to spell their name.
