If the first is a possibility then was Harrison his adopted name or birth name? If a child is adopted is their original birth registration removed?

Just a thought - sorry to throw in even more confusion.

If he was adopted it would have been before the formal adoption system was brought in. And if a child is adopted under that system, their original birth registration is not removed but their birth certificate would have "Adopted" written on it.
