This link will take you direct to the National Archive pages that gives info on changes of name from 1851.

*REMOVED AS IT SPREAD THE POST*

If it doesn't work then google.. deed poll history.. and it is the first result that is not a sponsored link!

I have reason to think my grandfather change his name by deed poll - is there any way of finding out if this is correct - I cant ask him unfortunately. Would there be a list kept somewhere? Any suggestions welcome!
