I’m having more luck with job hunting and with roles where they haven’t asked for a declaration and offering me an interview and the role does not require a DBS.

I’m thinking more a name change by deed poll would help because it would stop been looked up on google.

The drawbacks are though:

A) on forms nowhere they ask for previous names I would have to tell them anyway? Then they could look up previous name.
B) right to work - my birth certificate obviously can’t be changed, although I could get a passport in new name?
C) jobs that require to see certificates like my GCSEs and A-Levels, all in previous name, so again what stops them looking up old name anyway?

Thoughts?
