"Some double-barrelled names are formed in order to prevent a family name otherwise dying out, due to the lack of males in a generation or when notable property is inherited through the female line with a stipulation that the individual inheriting use the family name."
He did say he did it for his son with respect to his wife's family. They probably don't have a male in the family to carry on the family name. So he took hers with his and it is now a double-barrellled name.
