Hi Sheena and welcome to Rootschat 

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

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
