Question about the surname

UK, England, Northumberland—Nonconformist Church Records, 1613–1920 [Part B][MSPF-8TR]

In each entry the surname is also found at the bottom left corner of the entry. In the first entry the surname appears to be LUENS, but in the lower corner appears to be LEWERY.

Am I reading the lower corner name correctly? If so would I enter the surname as Luens or Lewery?

Your help is very appreciated, it is comforting to know there is a place to go for help.

    We can find the answer in the Help articles. In this case:

    "if an individual's name was listed with various spellings on the document, include all variants, separating each with the word Or.

    For example, if a name was written as "Georgios (George), George Broski, George Browzowski, or George Brzozowski," index the name fields as follows:

    Given Name: Georgios Or George

    Surname: Broski Or Browzowski Or Brzozowski     "

    I guess I was also questioning whether I was reading both names correctly. Thanks for your help.
