I'm looking for Darryl John Wilson born either 1937 or 1938 or any relatives. (I'm his first born child and would love to find that side of my family) He married my mother in March 1962 and I was born Feb 1963. Looking forward to hearing from anyone. X

Welcome to Genes and the Boards.

Unlike TV there are no magic wands.

Assuming we are looking at England and Wales look for his birth onwww.freebmd.org.uk You can then buy his birth certificate to find the names of his parents. Using the same website you can look for other possible marriages. Do not include a middle name when using that site but the results will include it or an initial.
You can also use this free site to look for his death. Freebmd is run by volunteers and it doesn’t cover more recent deaths.

Good luck

Added. I can’t find a birth for Darryl on Freebmd but did find the 1963 marriage in Kent. That marriage certificate would give you Darryl fathers name, which might help.

The man who died in Cambridgeshire in 2018 was listed at 20 Cambridge Road, Ely
CB6 3FS in the ER.

Nobody else was listed with him.

The full address for that postcode is 20 Cambridge Road, Stretham, Ely.
There's no result for no. 20 specifically, with that postcode, on Google

20 Cambridge Road comes up on Google Streetview, but with a slightly different postcode - CB6 3LW

It appears that Darryl was an only child, and that he had no further legitimate children. The death cert would include details of the informant, who may be able to give you some info about him, depending on whether he/she actually knew him.
