Thank you ... I think you have found the family in 1891! Not sure why Thomas would lie about his age though! Hmmmm .... erm yes, I suspect they are living in Church Street. This was Thomas' address in 1894. Yes, it is very sad.

Thank you for your help here!

Wow, thank you for this help! Yes, it would cost, but I think I need to validate this. So, with all of your help, it would seem that Thomas and Isabella's marriage ended ... whether through seperation and then her death, and then he set up again with another woman named Charlotte. I have also emailed Barnsley over the 1886 marriage to her.

Thank you for the information on Stockton Street. Are you able to see the family in 1891 and 1901 just to confirm I didn't go on the wrong track. Sometimes this genealogy can get a little confusing!

Thanks

Oh this is interesting! Thank you; so I wonder who little William and Christiana Swales' mother is?! I have found them both on teesvalley-indexes, to see if their parents are either Thomas and Charlotte or Thomas and Isabella?! Can I ask where the family were living in 1871?!

Thank you!

Nudge ... can anyone see Thomas in 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901?

Thank you

Peter

Peter Report 6 Dec 2009 01:06

Hello,

Thank you ... yes you found Francis and Hannibal's baptism and their parents marriage. Yes from what I remember you have found Thomas in 1851. I hadn't thought the Barnsley marriage would relate with it being quite far from Guisborough, but then again, there arn't any other options ... Can anyspot him in 1871/1891 ... perhaps he is living in Barnsley there. That is if my 1901 Asylum Theory is correct!

RE 1863 Marriage ... that must be another couple. Unless Thomas married a second lady with the same name. He was definitley married in 1843 as I have a copy of the origonal certificate.

This shows his marriage to Isabella in 1863 not 1843:

Result Year Surname Forename Initial Ref Number Click to contact
1 1863 STEPHENSON ISABELLA S-3-001-0-0063 Stockton-on-Tees
2 1863 SWALES THOMAS S-3-001-0-0063 Stockton-on-Tees

Presuming this is just a mistake on Tees Valley Indexes.
