Welcome to the boards.

Do you know the name of Alan's wife? If you do that will make it easier to find the names of his daughters (or do you already know their names?)

I can't find a death in 1984 for that name in Yorkshire. There is a death in Lancashire but the birth year doesn't match the year you give.

There are 2 people with Alan Dennison, 1932, born Leeds in their trees on here - is that 'your' Alan, and have you tried to make contact with them?

However, the only Alan showing on free bmd in 1932 was born in Hull.

?? Alan Dennison 1/1/1932 died 1984
He was a wrestler born in Bradford and died of heart attack while wrestling in the ring age 52.Others state he collapsed in dressing room,in Southport Merseyside.

That looks to be the correct one,he married and had 2 daughters 1956/60 who are on here.
Allana has the 1960 one in her tree.

He was actually born in 1929 as was Allan:

Births Sep 1929 (>99%)
Dennison Allan Fawbert Bradford 9b 142

Probably knocked a few years off for his profession.

Yes he was a wrestler! He died in 1984 however can't find anything to do with his death! He was born 1932. Found one of the sisters birth certificates however can't find the other ones. Struggling to find anything and don't know where to go from here. I have found out his wife's name too.

For the birth in 1960, you have the surname Dennison, and the mother's maiden surname.
You can then find other children from the marriage by searching using the surname Dennison and that mother's surname.

Did he also have a son?

When you say you can find nothing to do with his death, have you applied for his death certificate?

Rose has pointed out that he was actually born in 1929, and probably just claimed born in 1932 for his professional career.

Birth Date: 25 Jun 1929

He is also registered under Allan for his marriage and death. Alan must have been a stage name.
