If you search 1939 for the name you have and the place you should be able to find him.
Did you try the suggestion?

I think I might of found him, my mum remembered that he died at a football match, apparently he just dropped dead, so I did a search for “man dies at football match”, I must have read 7 or 8 articles and there he was Joseph William Haynes aged 53 died whilst watching Newcastle V Burnley and he lived in Brierfield. It might be a huge coincidence but I’m going to work with this and my DNA match shared matches to see if it’s correct.

Mum also thinks his son may have been called Terry or similar so if I find that name I’m probably on the right track.

This is the same person as mentioned in your last Message Heywood so thank you very much for that I’ve set mums tree to private so I can’t offend anyone and until I’m sure it’s him.

I’ve plenty to go on now so thank you everyone whose commented as always your help is very much appreciated.

Have a great weekend, I’ll let you know how I get on  :)
