Find Ancestors

I am looking for any info on Joseph [Joe] Swift married to Esther Austwick.They lived their married life in Wakefield Yorkshire.They had a large family one of wich was Ernest Austwick Swift born Wakefield 1930.Other brothers were Ian.Joe. sisters could have been Marjorie or Margaret and a Dorothy among quite a few others Thank you

what do you want to find out about him?

If you go here.

freebmd.org.uk

You can search for their marriage and that will give you their ages,their fathers names and occupations (if they knew them) if you send for it from the GRO for £9.25p.

You can also search there for any siblings of Ernest.

Trying to find anything i can about both Joseph and Esther.They are the grandparents of my partener.The family dont have any knowledge of where they were born.I found a marriage for 1919 but dont know how to tell if its the right one some family members think his name was Joe others Joseph

Found a marriage for a Joseph F Swift but dont know if this is correct as the family dont know if his name was Joe or Joseph

That will be the one Lexie - Josephs were often known as Joe.

If this is Esthers death -

Esther Swift
Birth Date: 21 Dec 1901
Death Registration Month/Year: Apr 1989
Age at death (estimated): 87
Registration district: Wakefield
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Volume: 5
Page: 1399

Then I think this will be her birth mistranscribed -

Births Mar 1902
Austick Esther Wakefield 9c 58

yes thank you i can see how this might point me in the righr direction.

I wonder if the Joseph F on the marriage was a mistranscription?
The Joseph Senior Swift birth that you found would fit with this death -

Joseph S Swift
Death Registration Month/Year: 1964
Age at death (estimated): 64
Registration district: Wakefield
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 2d
Page: 568

Thank you very much will now try to work back.Every census i have tried points me to a Esther in Hull but i think this sounds more like it.

Thank you.What details would the death certificate give would it give name of spouse ?

The marriage certificate would be best if you want to go backwards Lexie.

Thank you but couldnt you scream

Thank you for advice

The name of the person who informed about the death will be on the cert.. that may be a relative

Thank you will give him a try

I have a sneaking suspicion that Esther austwick born 1896 married a Reginald Levett. Still, it doesn't hurt to ask.

thank you

I obtained the marriage certificate of Joseph Senior Swift and Esther Austwick married Wakefield 1919.It gives his fathers name as what looks like Daniel [miner]and her father as James Herbert Austwick.Try as i might i can not find any other trace.When i tried the first time i got a Daniel Swift in Liverpool Prison .I viewed all inmatets and wardens but have not been able to get it back.Can anyone please help

This looks like James Austwick's marriage
