    1. [YORKSGEN] Name change by Deed Poll
    2. Carol Lylyk
    3. My relative Pamela HALLERON, born 1948 in York married Roger Merchant (formerly Parker) in 1970. When I received the death certificate for her father who died in 1984 I noticed that informant was Pamela NICHOLSON, daughter. I found a marriage of a Kenneth Michael Nicholson and Pamela Nicholson on FreeBMD so sent for that certificate. It states that Pamela Nicholson (name changed by deed poll) and Kenneth Nicholson married in 1991 and that her marriage had been previously dissolved. I am wondering if there is any way of finding out when she had her name changed and why the marriage was dissolved. I thought at first that maybe they had been married in a Catholic church and that is why the term 'dissolved' was used but the first marriage was in a Church of England. The sad part of this saga is that she died 5 days later of cancer. I guess they decided to make it legal while there was still time. Carol Lylyk Calgary Canada
