If you want to see if there was a deed poll change, go to
www.gazettes-online.co
Select London Gazette
Go to archive
Enter name the person was
Select the option 1900-1999,
Select search and wait, every gazette where the name appears or the one
where the name change was notified will appear
It is a slow site but I have found it very useful especially as I do
military research

without the benefit of remarriage?

> The case I have is a child being registered with the surname of the
current husband of the mother.
> Could he then live, marry, have children and die, using the surname of
another man,(who his mother did not marry,) legally?

> Would it have involved a 'change of name by deed-pole?
