Administration of both wills to Riparata Margaret d'Auvergne, spinster. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/sharing/9218241?mark=7b22746f6b656e223a226730324f585969773541506b7931744259337a67724167315874624e574d59453246374e576b4b353379413d222c22746f6b656e5f76657273696f6e223a225632227d

Possibly the differences lie in handwriting a z vs a y? In the London and Surrey Marriage Allegations on Ancestry the handwritten name is clearly Thomas Allez Mollet, but this has been indexed as Thomas Alley Moffat. This would account for the instances of Allery as well - a handwritten z with a loop below the line can look like 'ry'. Ditto the 1911 census - transcribed as a y but it doesn't look like other letter y on the page and is probably a z. Have changed redirect to Thomas Allez Mollet - sorry about this, first time I've tried a redirect. Wainuiomartian (talk) 01:18, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
