Louis Hermann Karl Heinrich Jungblut

[LucyLoo777]

I have been looking at the Junglbut surname in the UK and find it fascinating that Louis H K H Jungblut changed his name by deepoll too George Ernest Grahame after WW2.
I would love to find out a little bit more about this person as he is intriguing. There is a listing on ancestory but I am not currently a member. Could anyone give me some more insight please.

Many people with German names living in the UK chose to change them during and after WW2, for obvious reasons.

As a German national, he was interned twice as a non-refugee alien (Category A). Index cards for the internment tribunals (National Archives, HO 396) are on Ancestry and FindMyPast, and he has two cards.

My interpretation of these is that he was first interned on 5 October 1939 at Olympia (in West London), home address 97 Northfield Avenue, Ealing. Then sent to Canada, as many internees were, due to lack of space in England – sailed 21 June 1940 on SS ‘Duchess of York’. When he returned to England on SS ‘Andes’ he was refused release and was re-interned, in the Isle of Man, on 12 May 1942. But he was released on 1 June 1942 to serve for the allied forces in the Pioneer Corps (see here -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Pioneer_Corps#Recruitment)
This was presumably when he married.

He also has a personal file at the National Archives in HO 405 – see this link ...

It’s closed to public access, but you can submit a request for it to be opened under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI). It is an easy (and free) process. The request may or may not be granted. Sometimes it is granted with parts of the file redacted. The last one I applied for took about 4 months, but that was during lockdown.

Thank you, it is certainly an interesting surname to look at. There were another two deedpoll changes with the Jungblut surname and only one female Jungblut seems to have married in the UK in recent years which was in 1997.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to find out but, to clarify, nobody changes their name ‘by deed poll’. The deed poll is simply a written record that they have done so, and deed polls only represent a relatively small number of name changes made. Before the modern era, most people could change their names as and when and however they wished to (other than for fraudulent purposes).

Many changes of Germanic names around the WW2 period were simple anglicisations, so if you are searching indexes for this surname you might also want to try ‘Youngblood’?

There’s a useful research guide about name changes here ...

Thank you so much everyone,

It is such a big history lesson for me about name changes.
I love studying geneology and the whole deed poll thing really fascinates me.

I thought that enemy aliens were forbidden to change their names so the whole Jungblut change made me curious. Thank you for clarifying with the link Bookbox.
