Klara Gluck / Deutsch has 2 daughters with the same name with different fathers

Hedvig Menzer - died 1938

Hedvig Menzer - born 1903

Can anyone provide any information on Hedwiga?

Complicated because of mother Klara's 2 husbands, both of whom changed surnames.

Klara married Salamon Gervai on 23 Dec 1897
Hedvig was born in 1903
Klara's second marriage was to Mr Deak on 28 April 1910

Mr Deak was therefore Hedvig's step father, but she occasionally used his surname.

See her marriage and death registrations

death https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-894V-QKBL?i=454

Similarly
Andor Gluck was born a son of Salamon Gervais in 1899
But when he married, he was using his step father's surname of Deak
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6SPS-LSL?i=6

There appear to be no papers suggesting that Andor or Hedvig were officially adopted by their step father, so their usage of his surname was just a matter of choice

CORRECTION OF PREVIOUS MESSAGE

Adoption papers for both children do exist after all.
They are under the second husband's correct Hungarian forename of Frigyes rather than an unverified Germanic alternative,

That being the case, do they now have to be shown as children of both husbands?
