No need for additional entries. Available as an AKA entry which is searchable.

Hardy, /List of Captains/ and Charnock, /Biographia Navalais/, vol. 4, both spell his surname with 2 "s"s--Bassille. It would be useful in such cases to have separate records under such variations, perhaps just with a cross-reference to the main record.
