John Harris and Marella - aliases?

Found a German cover of an obscure UK song from the early 60s, and am trying to figure out the credits.

GEMA and ISWC both have credits for a "John Harris" and a "Marella", but ISWC also has an entry (with the same work number) credited to Rose Brennan (who originally recorded the song) and David Thorpe.

Do I just count "Marella" as an alias for Rose Brennan and "John Harris" as an alias for David Thorpe, or do I just do an external link mismatch?

The label for both versions of the song credit Harris and Marella.

Marella = "ROSE THERESA BRENNAN" (00004148032) - born 1 January 1931 - is an Irish singer. She is best known for a long spell with the Joe Loss orchestra in the 1950s and 1960s.

I've merged your Marella, since Murray already added her.

Consequently, John Harris must be "HAROLD DAVID SHAPER" (00028485465).

I did not encounter "David Thorpe".
