Here is what www.nationalarchives.gov.uk says on <b>Deed Polls</b>: "A deed poll is a legal contract involving only one party. Changes of name by deed poll were (and are) made before a solicitor who issues the document to the person changing their name. The solicitor may keep a copy on file, but it is unlikely to be a certified copy, and the file is unlikely to be kept for more than five years." <br />Another way to have had one's name changed was by a private Act of Parliament.Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932831673529849848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382369381372118960.post-60431161910270547182011-01-26T00:46:46.855+00:002011-01-26T00:46:46.855+00:00@Limey:
