Swifts of Wolverhampton dead end?-updated, the plot thickens!

[deryckjohn]

I would guess that the name was most likely tomlins.

There are a couple named Humpfry in Shropshire:

Could this be Ann in 1841?

Meole Brace near Shrewsbury.

Mary Evans 20
Ann Tomlins 15
Thomas Price 50
John Thomes 60
Susannah Price 45

HO107  Piece 911  Book  17  Folio  5  Page 4

All servants, the previous household is a Farm, interesting that there are Prices woking on the same farm.

Hello

 I found this marriage in the BMD index, don't know if it fits in.

Q2 1847  Mary Tomline + Thos Swift Shrewsbury 18 259

There is a rake of deaths for Thomas Swift in the county of Shropshire, I don't know the area well enough to take a guess.

Hope it helps

Humphrey Tomlins married Letitia Downton 5/5/1823 Berrington extracted IGI batch M008711

this may be a second marriage as there's a baptism of a Humphrey to Humphrey & Martha Tomlins in Condover 20/2/1803 and
Humphrey Tomlins md Martha Morris 17/5/1802 St Chad's Shrewsbury IGI batch M015752

so plenty of things to check in the archives!
