something that has always gone unanswered in my family is why my dad and his 4 siblings are registered under one surname but 3 of them claimed to be from a different father so used his name to marry. When my dad died the registrar questioned my mum about it so he put both surnames on the death certificate.
Today when I had backing from 2 cousins we asked the last remaining sibling and he said that his mother had seen a solicitor and it was alright for them to use the 2nd surname but surely there would have been some paper work. Would there not be a register somewhere when people change their names?
