Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Index to Changes of Name: Under Authority of Act of Parliament or Royal Licence and Including Irregular Changes From I George III to 64 Victoria, 1760 to 1901
The sources from which this index has been compiled are several. Primarily it is based on the Changes of Name by Royal licence. For this purpose the volumes of the London Gazette, and also the Dublin Gazette from 1760 to 1901 were examined, but it must be remembered that not all Royal licences are advertised in the Gazettes, though the vast majority are so advertised for obvious reasons of convenience, and often also in the Times and other newspapers. Registration at Heralds' College only, is a sufficient compliance with the Royal licence granted.
