Find Ancestors

I have a couple - Joseph L Swift born 1918 in Durham & Erika Goldschmied (also known as Erica Goldsmith) born approx 1918. They got married in 1950 in Kensington, London.

I'm looking for any info on Erika. I'm guessing she came over to UK from Germany or Russia possibly with her family?
I have no trace of her other than the marriage to Joseph.

I would really appreciate any help with this.

thanks
