I know someone who changed his name to please his wife. It was his second marriage and she didnt want to be a second Mrs?

I know someone else who had a Polish name which was hard to remember and spell . He hated his father and vice versa . He asked his mother if he could change his name to her maiden name and she agreed

I changed my name by statutory declaration and moved 200 odd miles to a) inherit from my wifes' grandmother and b) to disappear, very successfully, and leave behind a lot of bad stuff.

I've known a man to change his surname to his wife's, as her father had no sons, to continue her family name. The incentive was to inherit a nice trust fund from father in law.

Or quite possibly in a relationship with someone/marriage and changed name to hers/his or double barrelled them both.

Friends of ours both changed their surnames on marriage by double barrelling his middle name and last name.

Presumably he doesnt want to be found or he didnt like the one he was born with.

hard to answer
someone we know changes there surname,for reasons we do not know.

for peace of mind,can we find out why??

Not quite sure what you mean.

Maybe you will need to give a bit more information.

How can you find out why a man changes his surname,then moves to a different area.?
Many thanks
