A mistranscription - someone misread the "m" as "in".

Love used to be spelt Luve. Apocryphally it was changed because there were too many uprights. It could have been read as Lime.

Considering that Anglican clerks ought to have been familiar with the Christian Year, it's amazing how many different spellings exist - like Crysmus - before we even look at mistranscriptions.
My way into this family was pulling down a printed volume of marriage licences on my last visit to the Surrey Record Office before Christmas one year when it was still located at Kingston. I had not been able to find the marriage of Jeremiah Hedger, but there it was: https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...2F00207732%2F1 So too, when I returned in the New Year, was the marriage. But the couple had left, clutching their marriage licence, and the vicar could not remember the bride or groom's name!https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...fgum_1_3%2f032

A distant twig (Hugh Holden) was parish clerk for 26 years in the 1700s. Each year he signed off the BTs and in those 26 years, spelled his own name five different ways.
