If you changed their name by Deed Poll, you can't get a copy:

If you have lost your original Deed Poll and you did not return it to us for archiving (as part of our legal copy and archive service), all you can do is apply for a new Deed Poll to replace your lost Deed Poll. This is the accepted practice and we issue Deed Polls every day to people who have lost their original.

I changed my daughters name by Deed Poll and got a copy from the solicitor when i lost the original. That was about 10 years after the name change.
