Another point about the spelling of names is that, while your family might have always used one spelling, a different spelling might have been used when the name has been written down; people would have tended to use the spelling they are most familiar with... or even just spell it how it sounds, so Ballantine/Ballantyne could even become Balantine/Balantyne!
