Similarly-spelled families (suggestions, not merged)

These surnames sound close to Lydgate (e.g. Warenna/Warenne, Conestable/Constable). They are kept separate on purpose, some look-alikes are genuinely different families (Clare vs Claver). If you are sure two are one family, tell us to merge them.
