Looking at newspaper reports, the Mayor in 1936 was Cllr A R Ball. The next one was Alderman Richard Henry.

Hi Mike, ShaunJ's confirmation is probably all you need.

From a previous thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=205737.0, it seems Swansea Mayor are documented in a booklet entitled 'Portreeves and Mayors of Swansea'.

You can read/download this booklet online for free at http://guicopcompme.pp.ua/page/portreeves-and-mayors-of-swansea/. But it's one of these sites where you need to provide your payment details up front and then cancel within the trial period of 15 days if you don't want to be automatically billed for a subscription. If you're disciplined enough to do this, you can get free evidence.
