You might need his marriage certificate to find out Frederick Swain's age, so you can find him on the censuses.

I am looking for any living relation connected with my dad Barry Swain, he was born in boston Lincolnshire where he lived to his early twenties. His father was called Fred Swain and his Mother was called Lilly Constance Swain, he was an only child but had many cousins who lived in and around Boston. :-)
