I would guess her mother made the name up when she married her partner... she was probably a Good and married a Lander. You can get something called Meshing too where 2 people marrying 'Mesh' their names together to get a completely new name. This is totally legal and just requires deed poll forms on the wedding day being signed. You can even apply in advance for a Meshed name and sign the deed on your Wedding day so the new name starts from then! |

I can find a few Margaret Good's but none born of Lambeth, there is one, Margaret Good, mmn Good, Camberwell, 5c 255, 4Q 1948. Is this your Aunt? |

Where did she get her mothers name? Who may have two bros? How do you know that? Was the adoption "official" or "unofficial"? |

These days to change your name you need a change of name deed, without it you cannot get a driving licence, passport, bank account.... I know we went through it all when i divorced and i changed mine and my daughters name back to my maiden name. Took a short court battle for her but we did it. If you look on offiicial sites you need a deed certificate to change your name officially... however there is no requirement for you to get the name registered onto any official deed poll register. This makes things a little difficult when trying to find people with changed names... |
