Unless your ancestors were well educated they probably did not know how to spell their surname, so most documents will be what ever the Official thought they said. Google for a list of alternate spellings ! Think how a regional accent might change how the name might be heard and therefore spelt.

	Spellings were often ‘as heard’. Most people were illiterate. Bear that in mind Unless, of course, you have different 1841 census info which you haven’t shared with us………. Who registered the death?

Someone called Christine also has him on her tree ( see search all members trees) - you could try contacting her to see what she knows. added: The FMP entry for his marriage does not give parents names
