As far as I know Wally is still alive; he would be 70. If you want to contact him or Wally Jr, you could write to the Nottingham Ex-Boxers' Association - the secretary was (last year at least) Graham Rooksby. I will PM you with his address.

We must be related.  Wally Swift was my dads cousin.  Unfortunately my grandad died when my dad was 9 years old, so I don't know much about the family history and my dad did not stay in contact with that side of the family. Did you find out anything more out?

Hi Burto,
Thanks for getting back and sorry for the late reply.  I'm afraid the system won't let me send you a PM.
My Grandad was called "William Swift" and he was born in St Annes, Nottingham.  He's registered as a "Civil Engineer" on my dads's marriage certificate.   My dad was called Brian Swift. 
Thanks
Liz

Liz, if you post one more time - making it three in total - you will be able to send a PM (unless the system has changed - perhaps a mod will correct this if I'm wrong).
