It was somewhere around this time that Olive took another measure to conceal the circumstances of my dad's birth.

A family friend pointed out that not only did her surname not match my father's, who had been given John's surname when registered, it also didn't match the surname of the father listed on the paperwork.

So she actually changed her name by deed poll to match John's surname. To help sell the deception that she'd been married to someone with that name who'd tragically died. 24/?
