Fulham of Fullam?

I am going to recommend that this page be moved to Patrick Fullam. I believe this is the correct spelling of the name.

Evidence:

The Times for 1892, in listing the election results, describes the winning candidate in South Meath as 'Patrick Fulham'.^[1] But elsewhere on the page and in all subsequent references, including detailed descriptions of the court case, the spelling 'Fullam' is used. It looks as if they have corrected themselves.^[2]

An article in the Drogheda Independent on the death of Paddy Fullam, the former Chairman of Meath County Council, mentions that his grandfather, from Dromore, was elected MP for South Meath.^[3] Confusingly, the article uses both spellings. However this official document, signed by Mr Fullam, makes clear that that was the spelling he used: [2].

Finally, in 1901 Mr Fullam, if still alive, would have been 53 or 54. In the census of that year there is no Patrick Fulham of around that age, but there is a farmer called Patrick Fullam, 53 years old, from Dromore in County Meath. This is almost certainly the same person, and he signs his name as 'Patrick Fullam': [3] --Rbreen (talk) 12:40, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
