Solicitors searches

Hi
I have read conflicting opinions on this subject so just wondering if anyone here can offer some advice. In regards to the solicitors bankruptcy searches, is it correct that they only go back 5 years?
I'm actually 10 years discharged this year. I already have a mortgage on my current property, so I know i can successfully get a mortgage. I just wondered if my details will still show up now, 10 years down the line. Also, bankruptcy was in my maiden name and not my married name. Do they search only the name you go by now?
Thanks

Most forms will ask you for any previous surnames.0

As far as I am aware, it will always be available to those that want to find it or may happen upon it. BR is a matter of public record so will be available to those searching back copies of the Gazette. As a test, try the National Archives for 10 years ago.
And does it matter if you are discharged?Unlike some here, I am not omniscient. If I am wrong correct me. I won't take offence.
