The modern spelling which now applies to most locations and surnames, is first recorded in 1349 as John de Marston of Cambridge. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Hugh de Merstona. which was dated 1170, The Pipe of Eynsham. during the reign of King Henry 111, The Builder 1154 - 1189.

Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
