Help Please - Margaret Swinnerton and John Thatcher, Bishopstowe

More information about William Swinington of Horsley- there are also records of a William Beane, who had a son Gilles Beane, baptized in Horsley in 1607. Then, in 1636 in Horsley, a Gyles Swineingeton married Elizabeth Perwife. And in 1638 and 1639, Mary Beane and William Beane, children of Giles Beane, were baptized. I would put forth that Giles Beane (and therefore William Beane his father) were also known as Swinington/Swinnerton. Also likely part of this family were Elizabeth Beane, daughter of William, baptized in 1610; and also Anne Beane, daughter of William, baptized in 1604, who may have been the Agnes Beane who married William Lawe in 1634.

I would suggest that William Beane/Swinington of Horsley was a son or perhaps brother of Thomas Beane/Swinnerton of Tetbury.

I just found something else- in Avening (three miles north of Tetbury) there was a Richard Swinton who baptized two sons, Thomas and William, in 1562 (transcribed in Ancestry incorrectly as 1567). For twins to survive was a rare thing, so I would assume they were not twins and perhaps Thomas was older, and they were just baptized together. This was a case where the indexers didn’t transcribe the information correctly, they thought it was “Thomas Willn son of Richard Swinton” but in fact it was Thomas and William. I had to look at the image of the record book to see it. I think this is our Thomas Beane/Swinnerton! And his brother William who named his first son Richard (died young in 1591) after their father.
