My maternal grandmother gave her maiden name as Tysall on her marriage cert. She was in fact Wassall but her mother married a Tysall a few months after her birth. I have no idea how long she used, or if she had ever called herself Wassall. |

Looks like she was born an Elphick but her mother married a Vidler later. |

You can call yourself anything you like as long as it is not for fraudulent reasons so it wouldn't be illegal for her to use another name. It could be that she took on a step-father's name as a child and carried on using that name. |
