Deed Poll

[maltingo]

Is it possible to check say on a register lists of names of people whose names were changed by deed poll ?
Thanks

[Guy Etchells]

No it is impossible simply because no one, repeat no one changed their name by deed poll. Deed poll like many other methods was/is only proof that a change of name has taken place.

The only way for an adult to change their name is to use their new name.

Having said that to search for an enrolled deed poll record from 1851-1903 search in series C 275 at the National Archives

Enrolled Deed Poll records at TNA are available up to 2003. The index is in J18.

A guide to name changes is available - https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/changes-of-name/

As Guy says, a Deed Poll was only one way of recording a name change, which wasn't (and still isn't) legally necessary - many didn't use them, and of those that did only some were enrolled.

A change is normally given formal publicity, e.g. by means of a statutory declaration, deed poll, or newspaper advertisement, but this is not legally necessary.
From 1914, all deeds poll enrolled in the Supreme Court had first to be advertised in the London Gazette.

Thanks to all for your replies, I was thinking along the lines of deed poll because I had come across a birth registration for somebody in jfm quarter of a year, only to see the same person under ond of the same year.
I also saw a registration of somebody in ond of a year that bears the same reference/page No as somebody that has a different surname in ond of the same year.
How can this be possible and  without applying for each certificate what other option is there to avoid costs.
Thanks

Give us the names and details and we will see what we can see

I also saw a registration of somebody in ond of a year that bears the same reference/page No as somebody that has a different surname in ond of the same year.

Depending on the year that you are referring to there can be around 10 birth registrations entered on the same page which would therefore have the same reference numbers

Thanks Liz and Rosie.
I have taken my time replying and am mindful that I must not discuss somebody living so I am restricted as such.
If I use a deceased record so as not to be in breach of rules which has a similarity somewhat.

Carla d Christie Hatfield Herts was born in February, her record reads, JFM 1952 Hatfield, see 5/52.
and
Carla d Christie Hatfield Herts JAS 1952 4B 76

Why the second entry ?

[rosie99]

Was the birth was registered before the parents were married, once they married they had to amend the information (not sure whether it is classed as re registration)
