It is possible, though I cannot think of an actual example to prove it.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I am a widow and have now included by deed poll my maiden name to my full name.

You would not have needed to change your name by Deed Poll to add your m/s as you do not lose your m/s on marriage.

You would just start using your name to be known as Sheila + M/S + Surname.

Legal documents will have you as Sheila M/S or Surname anyway.
