Where one document uses a name and another uses the same name together with an alias, less evidence is required to establish identity than would be required for wholly different names; corroborative evidence (statutory declarations corroborated by independent documentary or objective evidence and solicitor confirmation), together with statutory presumptions and the ancient documents rule, can put identity and thus title beyond reasonable doubt, so the vendor has shown good title in this case.
