It looks like he was an only child - reg Sheffield, mmn Harris. Just in case you don't have his parents names will forward their possible marriage by PM.

On the marriage register, his mothers name was also recorded as Hicks - though I can't find a Harris/Hicks marriage to tie in with this. However, looks like 2 more children born to Birkby/Hicks in 1984 & 1988 - will PM their details.

Fiona,

I think they are in Cornwall and Blackpool. The mum looks to have remarried.

Did your friend leave a will? If there is actually an estate to go somewhere and no will, then a firm of heir hunters might take it on rather than maybe pick it up on release of the probate lists. Just a thought.
