Hi, Has anyone either been told or heard a story of a family member changing their surname after refusing to come back to england after being in India, I believe that a John Osborne,possibly changed his Surname to Austin, I also believe that the family came from either Cambridgeshire Norfolk or possibly Lincolnshire, this was a story that I seem to remember family members mentioning, when i was younger, but I am unable to confirm this as they are no longer with us, please get in touch, if this may have happened in your tree.
Sue
