You are thinking the same as me.
But adoption laws didn't come into force in England and Wales until 1926 it probably wouldn't have mattered it depends which month they became law and when the Wicks family travelled perhaps there was a very small window of opportunity there for them and the name on the travel documents wouldn't matter in any case I don't think
Ahh I now see that they travelled in June 1926...
Edit to say: I just had another thought perhaps thats exactly why they did travel abroad at that particular time, perhaps they were trying to avoid something...
