The surname is spelled in so many different ways.

Births of the younger children in 1861 above:

MACRE, ARTHUR JOHN mmn RANDELL
GRO Reference: 1860 J Quarter in SAINT JAMES WESTMINSTER Volume 01A Page 323

MACUE, ALFRED FURGUS mmn RANDELL
GRO Reference: 1857 D Quarter in SAINT JAMES WESTMINSTER Volume 01A Page 325

MACVE, ALICE REBECCA mmn RANDELL
GRO Reference: 1854 D Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 331


The son James's birth is wrongly transcribed as 22 on Ancestry..
Should be 12 - correction submitted.

RANDALL, JAMES -
GRO Reference: 1848 S Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01 Page 148


Alfred's middle name is Ferguson in later records.
