Presumably he doesnt want to be found or he didnt like the one he was born with. |

Or quite possibly in a relationship with someone/marriage and changed name to hers/his or double barrelled them both. |

I've known a man to change his surname to his wife's, as her father had no sons, to continue her family name. The incentive was to inherit a nice trust fund from father in law. |

I changed my name by statutory declaration and moved 200 odd miles to a) inherit from my wifes' grandmother and b) to disappear, very successfully, and leave behind a lot of bad stuff. |

I know someone who changed his name to please his wife. It was his second marriage and she didnt want to be a second Mrs? |
