Hi, Could anyone do me a look up please in 41 & 51 for a John Swift born c1798 married to an Elizabeth. Had at least one son called Daniel born 1820. Sorry this is all I have to go on. Could anyone possibly look for a marriage for me between i would say 1816-1820 i have tried looking but cant find anything. Thanks for any help given

Any idea which bit of country he was born? Have you got him on any census? There's one in yorkshire of the right age who is a brick maker (with what could be a brother & sister) but he would seem to be parentless.

where-ish? Dea x

Sorry i forgot to say didnt i! Should be in Yorkshire area possibly Wakefield way Thanks

Hi Yvonne, I have the baptism thanks for the help though

Ah - I take it you're working backwards from this 1861 entry RG9; Piece: 3427; Folio: 37; Page: 25 Emma Haigh 16 wakefield Joseph Haigh 13 thornes Richard Haigh 9 thornes Thomas Haigh 6 thornes Daniel Swift 41 mirfield Frances E Swift 11 Mo thornes Harriett Swift 40 alverthorpe John Swift 3 thornes

Found on Pallots Marriage Index Name: John Swift Spouse: Eliz Smith Marriage Date: 21 Aug 1821 Parish: Rotherham Daisy

If you do a sibling search and find a john (1822-1826) and a martha (1817-1821), then they are with daniel on the 1841

Thanks Yvonne, I am Jules yes.

Daisy - Rotherham's too far south I think. Wakefield or Horbury is more likely area.

Think theres another Elizabeth possibility Elizabeth Dickenson but cant remember where i got that from

Hi Jools, Is the 1791 right for John as I have him @ 1798 think I will have to ordered Daniels birth Certificate. Thinks its probably right though. Thanks

Hi Jools, I have all the information on Daniel I need just trying to find out about Daniels Father John Swift and Elizabeth. Thanks Kate

You'll struggle to order a BC for daniel - civil registration didn't start till mid 1837. Age will be about right. 1841 rounds ages DOWN. 0-14 are as stated, then 15-19=15, 20-24=20 etc.

Hi Jools, Dont have my brain switched on today thats why I havent ordered Daniels B/C already....duh!! Start again sorry. Is there no other John Swift of that age in Yorkshire? I didnt know they rounded the numbers up that much. Thanks for that. Kate

Hi Yvonne & Jools sorry took me so long to reply had unexpected visitors! Mirfield would come under the Wakefield district I think. Sounds like my John just didnt think he was born that early.
