I am trying to find details of my cousin who died when he was 23. He was born Alan Edward Toye, however, may have changed his name to Griffiths. I know he was married to a lady named Ann. His father was Edward Toye (b. 1930) and mother was Judith Griffiths (b.1934). We think he may have had a child but can't find any details. Thanks in advance. Helen <3

I'm not seeing a Toye/Smith birth to fit with the above information.

Can't see a birth, unless child was born before the marriage and reg in name of Smith,
Did Alan's father and mother die? I just wondered if there was a child whether he/she would have been mentioned in a will.
