You need to submit a minimum of 6 different pieces of evidence from 3 different categories as proof of address. If you don't have 6 in joint names, you should provide additional evidence in single names.
The ESOL letter would be acceptable if it has the address and date on it.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

We don't have anything in joint name. Can we not send something with the same address for both her and me ?(i.e. 3 items for each with same address?)

Thanks again for your help

If you only have documents in single names you will have to provide more than the 6. 3 of each won't be sufficient. Anything with your names and address on which is dated would be acceptable.
The proof of joint address should also span the 2 years without leaving long gaps.
