You are of course right.  Made me go back and look at what i acltually put on the forms in those 2 cases.

Margarite McBridin is listed in The Surnames of Scotland by George F. Black on page 460 under the surname MacBridan.

“Margarite McBridin had a precept of remission ‘pro murthuro unius viri inventi [? Iuventi] in domo de Balokert’ in 1529”

Lisette - Withycombe, E. G. Dictionary of English Christian Names, 3rd edition.
    Page 100 under the entry for Elizabeth show Lisette as a French variation that 
    was occasionally used in England.
    Also, the Ansteorran Gazette from August 1991 under entry number 26. 
    Lisette Gabrielle de Bar give additional documentation dating the name of
    Lisette de Montalba to April 6 1528 in a book by Leah Lydia Otis entitled 
    Prostitution in Medieval Society.

de Meyners - Black, George F. The Surnames of Scotland. On page 595 under 
    the entry for Menzies. Given as the Norman origin for the surname Menzies, 
    The earliest date for this name is given as Robert de Meyners in 1224.

Are those a little bit better examples Daniel?  probably incomplete as they are but those are the blocks from actual submissions I did some time ago.  If it is not obvious the names registered were Margarite McBridin and Lisette de Meyners.

Bah, I'll leave this to those who know what they are doing now.
