Hi Sheena and welcome to Rootschat ;D
Do you have George Richard's marriage? 1900 Wolverhampton - one of the possible spouses is Sarah Ann Preston :)
-
1901 census :-
George Swatman 24 vermin trapmaker b Wednesfield
Sarah A Swatman 23 b Wednesfield
Ref: RG13/2687/51/10
-
Birth for an Arthur Swatman, MMN Preston 1917 in Wolverhampton - vol 6b page 892

Death for George R Swatman b 1877 1960 in Bilston, Staffs vol 9b page 16.
-
Death for Sarah A Swatman b 1879 also in Bilston 1956 vol 9b page 33.
There are births for Swatman around the right time period in Wolverhampton but no mother's maiden name - not shown for births before the September quarter of 1911.
A couple of likely looking candidates might be Joseph 1907 and Clifford 1911 - either of these family names?
-
wow thank you so much! we have heard of a Clifford but were not 100% sure other than that we have no idea, its not easy to find things when you don't have a lot of info to start of with. but will keep looking :)

Hi,
This is a useful, free, site to search for BMD registrations:
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
It is a volunteer site so is updated at regular intervals.
