Title: Reversion to maiden name after divorce
Post by: erix on Thursday 07 April 05 17:45 BST (UK)

A woman who divorced her husband, before WW2 I think, was provided with financial support by her family to go into business on the condition that she reverted to her maiden name. Presumably this involved some legal process. Can anyone point me in the direction of any relevant records?

Hi Erix

Legal notices of change of name were published in the London Gazette - see their online archive:
