I'm guessing he was actually named Brian..................

When did you last see him?

Where was that?

Was he married?

Are you sure about the info you have posted?

It isn't backed up by any records..................

Who were his parents?

Have you noticed Brenda's surname?

Added:
?
Alan A Brain
Mother's Maiden Surname: Frogley

A 'Brenda' has him in her tree on here, but a different Brenda, and no Cowell connection?

Last seen sometime in the 60's

Confirms that the death above is relevant

Now, Brenda..............please tell us if Brian was given any other forenames.

Can we assume that either you didn't attend your uncle's funeral..............or, if you did, his son didn't

Brenda

May I suggest that you obtain your uncle's death cert, to see whether his son was the informant.

Please do not click on my name......................
