US NAVY WORLD WAR II
like any person... spellings and usage of his name vary... social security has it as Marian Boydjohn Garrett (as this requires a birth certificate or Bible entry with various witnesses, I tend to go with this spelling of his name)
whereas.. he Used Boyd as his name (marion being a "girlish" name at the time)
he gave 'Boyd Marion Garrett' to the military lists.. (these not requiring a birth certificate) as I have found several registrations to be in correct not actually being filled out by the person because they could barely read and write..
as my cousin preferred to use his middle name 'Boyd' like so many people (my grandfather included) the true spelling may have been lost on others... I will use the Social security listing until I find a True birth Certificate
