No I have found the newsprint of the Stamford Mercury in 1716 has the word Messenger as Meffenger .... two f ; and again in 1722, the Lord Chancellor was created Earl of Maccleffield.

The Road to the Wedding Cake
Infact our youngest brother has made his own homemade marmalade as wedding favours for today. I always helped with the preserves at home and make all my own jams and red onion marmalade now.
