Birth name[edit]

There seems to be some confusion over whether his birth name was Michael Hugh Scully, or Hugh Bernard Scully. Companies information seems to give both names (with identical birth dates) - for instance here and here. Many sources use "Michael Hugh Scully", but they may have got that from here. Does anyone have a definitive source, or an explanation? Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:21, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

I see The Daily Telegraph has hedged its bets and gone for simplicity (A very good obit though). Martinevans123 (talk) 22:29, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
Official birth records for 1943 seem to suggest that Michael Hugh Scully is our man. Who is Hugh Bernard Scully? (The Torygraph won't allow me to read its articles. Over to you....) Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:32, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
As if I'd ever read such right-wing toffy-nosed nonsense. Could it be a brother? Martinevans123 (talk) 22:45, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
Hugh too? Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:28, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
BMD shows one Michael H Scully for March 1943, Trowbridge district. mother's name Smith: [1]. Am guessing his full name was Michael Hugh Bernard Scully, as listed as a shareholder here Martinevans123 (talk) 08:41, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
