The laws of England & Wales allow anyone to call themselves anything they like!

Just as long as there is no intention to deceive or defraud.


Do you know that he is actually dead?
RootsChat has a policy of not naming living, or potentially living, people.

FreeBMD has a potential birth in Stepney, 1929?

Has he definitely died?
If so - when was he born? You can search freebmd under both names - using the dob as a guide.
If not - then you need to remove his name from here.

There is a marriage on freebmd in Kensington 1959 which could be him

J.18  as that would have the right date of 1959   ...

5. How can I find out if a deed poll was enrolled?
5.1 Deeds poll 1851-2003
Visit The National Archives in Kew and consult the indexes to enrolled deeds poll. The indexes cannot be searched online.
For 1851 to 1903 first consult the indexes in C 275 - they show only the former name. This will enable you to access the relevant document in C 54. Indexes and the enrollment books for 1903 to 2003 are in J 18. The indexes show both the former and the new name, either as a note or a cross-reference.
Indexes from 1945 to 2003 can be consulted freely, but you will need to register as a reader if you want to:
consult indexes from before 1945
view the original deed poll and/or purchase a certified copy
If you cannot visit in person, our website explains how you can pay for someone to do research for you.
5.2 Deeds poll 2004 to date
Contact the Royal Courts of Justice for details of enrolments since the end of 2003.
5.3 Deeds poll 1914 to date (online)
Search the London Gazette on The Gazette website by name for the person you are researching. From 1914 all enrolled deeds poll had to be advertised in the Gazette.
