In a marriage record I am indexing, the names of the bride and groom are listed twice within the document, but their names are spelled differently in each location. As you can see in the picture, the spelling of the groom's first name (circled in red) and the bride's last name (circled in blue) are inconsistent. The project instructions for this batch doesn't say anything specific to this problem. What should I do?

    this is what I found in the instructions in the given names "purple ?" help

    Include all aliases, nicknames, or variant names that were given for a person, separating them with the word Or.

    hope this helps :)
