Change of names

[pee wee]

This question was put to me the other day & I didn't know an answer for it. I was hoping someone here would have an idea.

When a person changes his/her name by deed poll is there a way we can access those records for the purpose of family tree research. Or are those records sealed to everybody except the person concerned. I have a possible name change pre 1881. I would like to confirm.
