PS The 2nd birth cert after adoption might be in the year of adoption rather than the year of birth possibly. |

If the mother hadn't decided what to call him when she registered the birth, he would have been entered under the surname but at the end of the list as 'Male'. |

I have found a possible registration for him on Ancestry Birth Index, his 3rd christian name isn't shown but it is a possibility the 3rd name was added on adoption as it's the same name as the adoptive father. |

As we don't know his name, we can't help you out. But if you have a birth reg, Bromley, it will have a District Number. You can look that up and see if it was Devon/Cornwall/Seilly (where on earth is that?). Bromley was Kent up to 1965 and the District Number was 5b, but 1965 onwards it was London, and District Number 5A. |

When Ancestry transcribes the indexes they don't always get the county right, but since you don't need to mention the county when ordering a certificate it doesn't really matter as long as the district is right. |
