Stumped by name change

My great grandmother Anne Rogers changed her name to Davies along with her 3 sons Edwin Meredith, Mark and John Edward, between the 1861 (she states "unm") and 1871(she states "widow") census Llangollen (Froncysyllte /Trefor). I can find no marriage of Anne Rogers to a Mr Davies in that time frame. I can understand that perhaps she changed her name for respectability reasons as all 3 boys were born to her under her maiden name Rogers (which would be a bit silly considering that in a village everyone knew everyone's business). However what has me stumped completely is that her younger brother Kendrick Rogers also changed his name to Davies at the same time. |
