Hello,

I am looking for my relation Thomas Swales in the census and I have found him in a few, and just looking for validation elsewhere. His place of birth seems to change frequently.

I posted help on here last week in regards to his marriage Isabella Stephenson. He married her in Billingham, County Durham in 1843, and the couple are living in Guisborough, Yorkshire in 1851. In 1861, although still married and still living in Guisborough, Yorkshire, he is living with his brother Hannibal Swales, and some of his neices and newphews who are children of his brother Francis.

I am not sure if I have found him in 1871 or 1891 but in 1894 he is living in Guisborough, Yorkshire again (informant on a certificate). It would seem he was in the Clifton Asylum by 1901 and died there in 1909. I beleive this may be him in 1881 with a second wife.

Household:

Thomas SWALES Head M Male 59 Aycliffe, Durham, England Tin Plate Worker
Charlotte SWALES Wife M Female 39 Middlesbro, York, England

What do people think? Can you help me find after 1861 when he with his brother Hannibal? I am trying to link him between 1861 and his registration in 1894 when he was informant for certificate. I can't find his marriage to Charlotte (if this is the same Thomas Swales) to confirm his father from the marriage.

Thank you in advance!
