Subject: 1861 Lookups Required COLWELL, SWALES
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2005 22:51:35 +0100


Hi everyone

Please could SKS lookup the following for me in the 1861 census:

Charles COLWELL born c.1857, died. 1877 in Bradford aged 20.
I am trying to find out if he was born in Bradford/Leeds. He was married to
Tryphena SWALES in 1875 in Bradford.

Tryphena SWALES born c.1857 in Rodley (between Bradford & Leeds).
Sarah SWALES(maiden name?) born c.1833 in Bingley (married BROOMHEAD)

By 1871 Sarah was married to Abraham BROOMHEAD and Tryphena was named as
BROOMHEAD on the 1871 census. I want to know whether she was married in 1861
to Abraham or whether she was single which would result in Tryphena being
born on the wrong side of the blanket. I haven't found their marriage or
Tryphenas birth so I haven't been able to prove this yet.

I found the link to SWALES from Tryphenas daughters birth certificate and
the marriage as mentioned above.

All help is very much appreciated.

Regards
