It's a pity the birth indexes for his year don't have middle names - I bet a lot of those Derek Ms were Derek Michael or Derek Matthew or whatever.
I wondered if he might have kept his forenames as he was older when adopted? You could try looking for deaths of other Derek M Wicks who were born a the right time to eliminate some of those birth records, but it would probably just be an exercise in making the list a bit shorter, whilst imagining his name may have been changed anyway!
What a pity he didn't say he was born in some obscure village!
