Evening All!

Hope you are well......

Please could you help have hit a dead end trying to find my great great grandparents. I believe my great grand parents changed our surname legally Drain to Drane at some point in the early 1900s but I don't know where I can look to find a record of this as cannot locate them under either surname in the 1901 census or on birth certificates :-(

Can anyone help with where I can find the change if name records?

Many thanks

Bx
