Hi Val my name is Tina, my Aunty researced the swales family tree, i think she got back to about 1700s, were the last swales on christening records were classed as strangers to the parish.

I'm going to have a look at all the old paper work we have got, she done all her research by foot,about 14 years ago.

I've read your other post, and yes it gets very confusing ha ha.

Also my ggrandad Zach was killed crushed to death when he was about 49 at british steel very sad.

I will be in touch.

ps i'm new at this its changed my name from EML to ELLEMAI?

Hi Tina,

Will wait to hear from you.   If your grandfather Zachariah was killed when he was only 49, would not be remembered by my mother, but I would assume he had a son Zac and he could be the uncle Zac my mum remembers.

Hi
Am looking for any info on James Swales born about 1857 and his wife Lillie born about 1859.They are on the 1910 American census where it say they were married for 32 years.I think James is part of a family of Swales who emigrated to America in 1895.Father Thomas Swales and mother Grace Swales nee Todd
Can anyone help me with the marriage of James to Lillie or give me any info about the family
Thanks
Diane

Hello Diane,
                  I have been researching my Swales family,if you google Romany jib,Sandy Buckland has put a lot of info on it, as I was interested in the family especially Grace Swales who I think was James sister.Just type Swales in the search box on the site and the information should come up,

Thanks for that.I came across the travellers through a search for Ireland family and got fascinated with the marriages etc with Varey,Swales,Forrest ,Knight etc so I'm trying to make up the tree.
I'll check out the site.
