Whilst in the past, details may have been accepted without further checks, these days it is not that simple. Typically, this is the sort of identity documentation you need to supply when giving notice of intention to marry:- |

My gt grandmother was illegitimate but she gave a factitious father on her marriage cert. My grandfather lied about his age by 3 years on his marriage cert maybe because he was so much older than my grandmother |

I don't know about the lying - if she'd been using her stepfather's name for the last 20 odd years. it was her legal name by then. |

I think everything was written down as told. My grandfather lied about his age when he married in 1908. He then lied again to obtain a job (seen the proof!) and lied again on the 1911 census. |

You also can call yourself by whatever name you wish - so long as it's not for fraudulent purposes. So, no need for a deed poll even now. |

Hello all, Can someone please tell me if you had to produce any proof of your name/status in 1908? The bride had been living with the surname of her mothers 2nd husband since the marriage when she was about 2 years old. Although her elder siblings used their real fathers surname. |
