I have just looked at my grandmother's death certificate, she died in 1967, and there is no maiden name.

The Lighter Side / Political Correctness in census transcription
« on: Tuesday 11 July 23 09:43 BST (UK) »
I am used to inaccurate transcriptions in the census as we all are but this is more than just someone misreading an entry.
Looking at the 1921 census in London on FindMyPast I came across a transcription which gave the person's place of birth as "Portstewart, Londonderry (Derry), Ireland". I thought it odd to say the least that anyone would write "Londonderry (Derry)" in 1921 so I looked at the original and it clearly says "Co. Derry, Portstewart, Ireland" so I can only assume that someone decided that was not politically acceptable today.

England / Changing name by deed poll
« on: Monday 26 June 23 20:05 BST (UK) »
I have a Henry Stilz who in 1919 changed his surname by deed poll to Stiles ( Henry was born in London). He was married and had 4 children under 10. Would his wife also have to change her name by deed poll or did she automatically as Henry's wife become Stiles? and what about his children?
I found a notice about Henry changing his name in The London Gazette but although I can see other members of the family I can't see his wife.
thanks for any help

Glad it helped. I used it to find people who died in the area I am looking at for a one place study because trying to find war memorials in South London is a nightmare.

If you go onto the search page, scroll down to additional information and put in the name of the road plus town/village it seems to work I just typed in "Carlton Grove, Peckham" and got a list of names.
