Hi Mel
Yes he was one of James and Mary's sons I believe there were 5 children

Mike * Report 8 Sep 2013 16:02

Jack was probably John.

On the children's birth certificates is she always just Mary ? or did she have a middle initial ?

Hi here is a update of what I have so far found for Mary Swift nee Love
I am still trying to find family details for Mary

she was born 20/9/1910 according to her death reg record dated 27/3/1970 Nottingham. sadly it does not give place of birth for Mary.
she married James Swift and on her marriage certificate 4/7/1931 Nottingham it gives her father as John Love deceased labourer.

regards
Ian
