I have gone ahead and added a simplified version of this story as a note on the way. Thanks for the good idea!

Even though the street signs read "Marie Rochele Drive".

To further add to the confusion, most of the official East Bradford maps still list the street's name as "Marie Rochelle Drive".

This was incorrect, as the correct spelling for his daughter's name was "Rochele" not "Rochelle". For years the signs read "Marie Rochelle Dr" and everyone got used to that spelling of the street name. Within the last 8 years, however, "Miss _" successfully petitioned the township to change the signs and official name to "Marie Rochele Dr", which it should have been from the beginning. So the signs now read "Marie Rochele Dr", but almost no one uses this spelling. Almost all of the mail reads "Marie Rochelle Dr" ad a quick google search shows that there are 900 instances of "Marie Rochelle Dr" versus less than 20 of "Marie Rochele Dr" So while "Rochele" is the official spelling, "Rochelle" is the one everyone uses. So I don't know which should be used, on one hand, the official spelling is "Rochele", so in the name of accuracy it should say "Marie Rochele", but on the other, almost no one uses this spelling, and it might make it harder for residents to use the directions feature of OSM if we don't use the "Rochelle" spelling. So in the name of accuracy, I have changed the street name to "Marie Rochele Drive", but if someone wants to change it back, or further discuss the change, that is perfectly fine.
