I've just found out that my grandfather Joseph Coulson, for some unknown reason, changed his surname to McLeod. He was born in 1897 and died in 1981 in Chippenham, Wilts, and there is no-one left who knows why he changed his name, or when. I'm wondering if anyone has a Joseph Coulson in their family trees, who suddenly disappeard? My Joseph was born in St Pancras, London in November 1897 and his father was also called Joseph. If anyone has any tips on how I can find info about a name change, or thinks they might know my Joseph, I would love to hear from you. Many Thanks!
