John Swindley

[MariKay]

Thank you for that. I've opened up that site you mentioned. The John I need is John Vincent Harwood Swindley - his son was John Henry - I copied the wrong name in my first request. He is definitely closer to 1880 as his death records all say he was 59 when he died, 9 June 1939. I can't track when he came to NZ yet as I haven't his marriage certificate/register record, or any hospital records - I think that may be my next step. I've looked through years & years of shipping passenger lists & not found him yet. It is possible he came here via Australia. Thank you for your help 
Just looked up that site: the only John was born 1831, so if it's a connection, it's another generation back. Will keep looking, thanks

Thanks for all the advice & help here. I have since found out, through another family source, that John may well have been Australian not British, so this thread can now close. I look forward to joining in other threads.

Hi , you have probably found this already at waikumete cemetery auckland nz JOHN VINCENT HARWOOD SWINDLEY (through the on line search) I noticed your post as I am looking for swindley's as well but have next to no info on them as yet . I came across this in my search , if its the right one it will give the religon and burial date with a age or birthdate and occupation at least . good luck

Hi Glenda,
Yes, we have been to the burial site, but some of the family graves there are hard to find & /or read. Also, with John, I have his son's birth certificate where John's place & date of birth is mentioned, but I can't actually find that record on NZ's BDM online database. My next step is sending away for either his death cert or marriage cert, from which i may be able to track down more details. Have been sidetracked for a fair while. Thanks for the reply, though.

Sorry, I realised I didn't ask about your own search. Which branch of Swindleys are you wanting? If you like I'm happy to share what I have so far.

Hi MariKay,
I have not been active for a few years but have been researching the Swindley name worldwide on and off for about 30 years now and might be able to help you.
Your family line might come thru Henry Harvard Swindley born 1849 London England.
Regards
