The third in line to the UK throne is an example of this.

I have an instance of this. My nans father was known as Harry and is Harry on his wedding cert but i could not find any record of him on any census or birth registers until i looked for Henry. The same with her mother, she was Maggie on the wedding cert but actually called Margaret.
