The Spelling of the name could have been STOREY perhaps? I have known this spelling of the name (a 1960's footballer for instance).

If you are going back that far the spelling could be almost anything in fact, double r, ending in ie instead of y for instance? In fact my team had a player called Jim Storrie many years ago so you can see how the spelling can vary. Best of luck with your search.

Thanks i spell my name storey but during my search i found the E had been added a couple of generations back.
