Hi,
This has a been a real "hum doosey" for me as the name changes make finding traces even more difficult if the name adopted is a common one.
I have members of the Oppenheim family in Lancashire and Cheshire who changed their names to Osborne before, during and after WWI.
If you find some evidence for a name change and want to see if there was some public notic of the event ( a legal requirement in some cases) you can check the Gazettes online which has helped me enormously:

I searched for the original name and after some time consuming but rewarding reading found the notices I was looking for.
Hope this helps.
Kirsten
