Trying to find out more about the Swift family, in particular from Sneinton/St Ann's, Nottingham. The earliest ancestor I have found was born in Shepshed, Leicestershire, and moved to Nottingham. Have some information that I'm willing to share.
Would love to hear from any current Swifts who have ancestors from the areas mentioned above to find out more about the family, especially if they remember a Harold Swift, as I'm trying to find out about his time before and after WW1. He also told his nursing home carers that he was related to boxer, Wally Swift and would teach his Grandchildren (not Wally's!) to spa, so would love to know whether there is some truth in this.

Alex Johnson
Looking for Alex Johnson a US serviceman who most possibly stationed in Lancashire (BAD2?) England between 1942-1944. Visited Nottingham regularly. May have been stationed in Edinburgh or Leicestershire. He played the piano and went back to the States after his service.
Did you know Elsie Swift?
I am putting a few "can you help?" posts on here as I have some relatives who are not very computer literate (I'm struggling with being blog literate but hey) who would like to find out about certain people and have hit brick walls.
The first is Elsie Swift. She lived in St Ann's, Nottingham, England, and during WW2 she served in the A.T.S. between 1941 and 1944 as a cook all over the country including Preston, Lancashire.
My relative would like to get in contact with anyone who knew her either during the war or before/afterwards.
