I know it's the opposite end of the country but could this be him?

JOSEPH HENRY SWINBANK
Birth day   7 January 1905
Death quarter   4
Death year   1972

County   Devon
Volume   7A  Page   1141

If you look at Freebmd there is no other Joseph Swinbank born around that time.

Hi

All or some of those remaining 4 children could still be alive.  Rootschat has a "no living person" policy  in which case their names are not allowed to be posted and we would not be able to post any info about them

If you read my post you will see that's a death not a birth and that apart from the year, which is one out, the birthday fits. Remember the information on the certificate is only as good as the person who gives it knows. My grandmother's age is a year out on her certificate. As I said on my post there is only ONE Joseph Swinbank born between 1903 and 1906 and that is yours.

Im not seeing a death for Mary H Swinbank
But there is this marriage -
Jul/Aug/Sep 1965
Durham
ref 1a 1915
Mary H Swinbank / Robert Rand

Which implies Joseph died pre-1965, unless there was a divorce

If you get a copy of her marriage cert to Robert Rand it should tell you if she was a widow or previous marriage dissolved.
