Thread: Name change

  1. #1

    Name change

    Further to my other thread on here, regarding my Great grandparents who changed their surname.
    Found out today it was changed by deed poll in the late 1870s.
    Would I be able to find anything out about the change anywhere please?

    There might be some interesting info here for you:

    Is that the sort of thing which might appear in the London Gazette?
