I was told that my grandfather changed his surname from Lester to Reader.I have no other info. Is there a way to find if this is true? I don't think he would have changed by deed poll.

If you would like to give more information perhaps we can help?

Could it be possible that he was born Lester and then his mother married a Reader and he then used that name?

Surely you know when he was born, his marriage and perhaps his father?
