Can you help to identify the following couple recorded on a memorial inscription in Knottingley Cemetery so that the correct details can be listed for them on our Knottingley Family Tree.

Jack Swales died on the 7th February 1958 aged just 35 years and was interred in plot no. 5024. Jack’s wife Eva died 19th September 1996 aged 70 years and at the time of her death she was recorded as residing at Vale Crescent, Knottingley. Eva was interred with her husband in plot 5024.

It would appear that the couple were only recently married and the memorial inscription leads me to believe they did not have any children. There is a possible marriage at Leeds in 1956, the bride being an Eva Roberts, but I would like to request your assistance in a positive identification.

Please get in touch if you can offer and help.

According to the information I have available, Harold Freeman was born on the 4th June 1891 and died at Mount Pleasant, Knottingley, on the 26th May 1978. He was interred in plot no. 5027  at Knottingley Cemetery on the 2nd June 1978 in the same grave as his wife Sarah, who died 2nd November 1954.

It is possible that Harold was born in Wistow and was the son of Arthur and Sarah Ann. It is also possible that Harold married Sarah Robinson at Pontefract in the 3rd quarter of 1920 but before I can add anything to our family tree it would be good to have some confirmation.

If you can help to positively identify Harold and Sarah so that I can include their correct details alongside the memorial inscription then please get in touch.
