His middle name is Owen as in honor of his mothers maiden name. His son and grandson both have it too. Thanks for your help

You will have names for parents on birth(both parents) and marriage (father) certificates.

My fiancees paternal grandfather Eric Smith born c1930 died 1972

I cannot find anything about his parents. They were a Smith and an Owen but that's all I know. We think his mother was from Wrexham. But cannot be sure. I know it's a long shot but any help would be much appreciated. Eric died in Bolton. Not sure where he was born.
