Is anyone researching the name change? Any formal application would probably have had to be published in a newspaper of record, with the court case number. It would be interesting to see the application. It would probably state birth place (which could still be in question), date, parents, and reason for the change.

I would guess that his name changes would have been informal and for convenience.
