By two deed polls dated 19 November 1894 and 9 December 1898, all the sons of William Penrose Mark and Helen Elizabeth Mark changed their surname of Mark, first to Mark-Wardlaw, and then to Wardlaw, this name being their original family name.

Their grandfather William Mark adopted the name of Mark, his true name being Winlaw. His forefathers some generations back (by the registers at Dirleton, Co. North Berwick) held the name of Winlaw, which name has been pronounced by experts to be  a corruption of the name Wardlaw, the name of a family driven up North at the time of the Norman Conquest, who settled in that part of Scotland.

The records also show information relating to the French branch of the family, but this has not been included as it has no direct relevance to Alltyferin or Holy Trinity.
