Only one child died, age of Alvin is definitely 38 on the certificate, he also may have suffered with dyslexia, which would account for his signature on the marriage certificate, and I agree that his surname was finished by the vicar.

I wonder who supplied the birth year for his death certificate?  His marriage certificate would suggest that he was born in 1928, a discrepancy of three years from the death certificate.

Family Search do have birth records for Jamaica and I had a look but couldn't see one with a suitable birth date.

There were quite a few Alvins, none that were Alvin Lesley.  Is it likely that his parents married in Jamaica?
