My great grandfather was John Pattinson Beresford, his son Henry James Beresford my grandfather and his son, Leonard Henry Beresford my Dad. Great Grandpa's middle name has been spelt many ways. On his birth certificate it is spelt "Patteson" even though his Mum's name was spelt
"Pattinson". On his death certificate it's spelt "Patterson" and on his headstone at Fremantle Cemetery it is spelled "Pattison". Often happened over many years depending on who was completing the necessary documentation.
