He might have done, or he might just have been mistranscribed.

If I understand correctly,he wouldn't necessarily have had to be naturalised to anglicise his name.

Do you want to give details for someone to see if they can find anything?

My great grandfather was from Russia (grandma was illegitimate but we found his name from an affiliation order in 1900) .he is on 1891 and 1901 census but can't find him after that .Just wonder if he got naturalized might he also have changed his name .?

UPDATE;found his photo on naturalisation document ; Not bad when we started with just a surname ;
UPDATe Dec 2014 we now have names for 10 Russian aunts + uncles that Nana Maisie never knew (only 3 first names still to find) ;
we've even got 4 probable married names for some aunts .
Some 1st first names differed between latvia- prestwich -birkenhead+brooklyn
see thread " jewish names"
