Do you have the children's names as usually the eldest son is normally called after the grandfather do you have the marriage lines as it might tell you a bit more

who registered his death?

maybe they didn't know the name he had been given at birth or he had gone through life using a different name.

My father doesn't use his birth name and everyone is surprised when they find out what his birth name is.

His youngest daughter registered his death she is also deceased now.
I have looked up the Death register and it has two records on the page same death year and birth year same district of Hendon one is for Francis and the other Thomas Frank the volume 13 and page number 0758 are the same I have the certificate for Thomas. 
Do they normally do this when someone is known by different name or does it have to be done
by deed poll name change?

Thomas (francis) had 5 girls and 3 boys one of the boys was also named Thomas. His father if
it was William who married Elizabeth the name was not carried on to next generation, William Paul Stocker had a son William.

Thomas has a record of father Edward W Stocker on his Army records address 120 Cambridge Rd
I am so confused what a mixed up family, I want to make sure I am ordering the right
family records

Thanks Rosie

Apparently you can call yourself what you like providing it is not for fraudulent purposes, you do not have to change your name by deed poll.  The GRO do index these examples separately as you have found.

If 2 names are recorded on the death cert as has happened here, there will be 2 entries in the death index reflecting each name, but there will only be one death certificate.
