Her name would have been changed to Purefoy when she was 1 in 1899 by the Royal Licence for her father’s name and arms change.
_______________
In the 1939 Register she was married to a clergyman and living at:
The Tallat, Northleach R.D., Gloucestershire

The bracketed name of Mews is what was originally entered on the Register. The new name of Purefoy is added in Red later with notes in the margin about a Deed Pool. Undoubtedly this was some clause in her father’s will that gave her Shalstone but with a name and arms clause.
Undoubtedly her husband’s birth name must have been Mews, to be confirmed by their marriage record, or not.
There is one redacted entry for this household; I wonder if that was for a child of theirs? The birth indices may clarify this.
