Donnellan, Donellan or Donéllan edit

Spelling of this surname name proved problematic, with most recent sources favouring one n or an n with accent. Eventually, I settled on using contemporaneous sources – this on the grounds that fashion editors of the time he was in business would be likely to be picked up if they were spelling Michael's name wrong. My clincher sources were The Times obituary and recent wills column – both of which I decided were highly likely to give his 'official name'. I have noted the inconsistency as best I can via the Infobox, and if anyone thinks there are grounds to change to one of the above alternative spellings please could we discuss here. Many thanks.
