Census 1901 - Can you help to find Stephen Callear (Treeton/Swinton?)

[KGarrad]

Swinton (West Riding) was in the Ancient Parish of Wath Upon Dearne.

Both that parish and Treeton are constituent parishes of the Registration District of Rotherham.

You would need the various records to check and hopefully verify the information you need.
There aren’t many of that name though.

At least the mystery re the younger Stephen in 1901 seems to be resolved. Do you think?

On the surface, yes - we seem to have a good lead for Stephen (the som). I've not had time/chance to check on Ancestry yet but I'm wondering what I need to search for to surface the census page/record - it must be in there somewhere albeit logged under a variant of the Callear surname.

FindMyPast indexes have:
Stephen Gallear, b 1878 , Parkgate, Rotherham for the 1896 Attestation.

Stephen Callear b 1881, Parkgate, Yorkshire for the 1914 Service record.

As I said, the WW1 record is available on Ancestry and mentions earlier service.

I have tried searching Boer War records on FindMyPast but no success. However, that is likely.

   Hi just to let you know Swinton does come under Rotherham as does Kilnhurst ...  Mexborough is the next place to Swinton ..but the other way on and Mexborough comes under Doncaster ...so the death of Fanny could be yours given that Mexborough is just down the road from Swinton ...just thought i'd try putting you in the picture regarding the area ....incidently there are some  Callears living in the Swinton area .

Hi - thanks for that.

Yes - I have traced relatives in Swinton too. A close ancestor of mine lived in Yorkshire but it turned out you have to go several generations backwards then forwards along a different branch to connect us - not quite the link that i was expecting
