Michael Athey Vawser born 1831 Crowland Lincs

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any information on the Vawsers of March, particularly Michael Athey Vawser born 1831 in Crowland Lincs. My main interest here is the name change. Between 1871 - 81 he is calling himself John Vawser and from 1891 onwards until his death he is calling himself John Watson (apart from his will which is registered in his original name?). Would anyone be able to shed some light on this? Perhaps he was reading too much Sherlock Holmes at the time...
