What happens to text messages if contact name is changed?

I have recently changed the name of someone in my contacts and now I can't find the messages sent backwards and forwards between us using their previous name. Where/how can I find them?

Thanks

They should be exactly where they were before but with the new name showing. The original bubbles should still be there.

If you changed their number then it will start a new thread.
