Stephen Anyone can change their name to anything they like and it does not have to be done formally. If we are talking recently, i.e. in about the last 20 years, they would probably have done it by Deed Poll, but not necessarily. I think this information would be available in County Court records, but how you would access them I don't know! What sort of time are we talking about? The Times and I think, the London Gazette used to publish details of formal name changes. OC |
