Thomas Ditton told his son that he changed his name by "letters
patent" probably 1920-1924. If this were true, where would I look to
find information or a copy of the legalities? I am leaving no stone
unturned!
Could the name change have been due to a "name and arms" clause in a
will? If in England, the process there is to obtain a Royal Licence
for the change and then to have the arms recorded by the College of
Arms - which issues Letters Patent.
The London Gazette should have notice of the Royal Licence.

You mean someone would change their name to get a coat of arms? I'm
not aware that that occurred, but who knows!
