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.

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

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 ?

Christine2 Report 18 Jun 2010 20:33

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

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