Paul Wickendon of Thanet is a thorough and good researcher, but he
is limited to the sources he had when he compiled his Dictionary.
Tumonova is a thorough and good researcher, but she was limited to
the sources she had when she compiled her Name Book.  :)

Documentation from each source has been used for SCA name registration.
It'd be best if you can get a date on the name, but know that Tumanova
is still a decent source.
