Ian my husband is William Derek but has always used Derek -and we thought he was Derek William We were married as DW ,he had a British passport as DW and it was only when we were naturalised Australian that the clerk noticed his birth certificate said William Derek That same cert. had been used to obtain official documents for 55 years To make things worse in Sunderland my hubby is known as Philly so when I say Derek they all wonder who that is !
