Anyone Looking For Cunningham And Swales In Yorks?
« on: Friday 18 April 08 16:35 BST (UK) »

My Gt Gt Grandad Thomas Rhodes  married a Jane Cunningham b.cir 1854 York married 1871 Hull.

Cant find her. Have found a travelling family tinmen/dealers/hawkers  repeatedly married into the Swales Family which married into the Rhodes a generation earlier.

Looking for anyone with connections to Benjjamin Cunningham, Magdalena Cunningham married Thomas Swales and his sister Mary Swales married Richard Cunningham. Thomas and Mary Swales hailed from Kirkby Moorside Yorks, the children of James Swales and Esther Sowdon. Other children included Jeremiah who married Elizabeth Cunningham Wilson, and Hannibal who married Prudence.

Christiana Swales married Thomas Rhodes Snr.

Have you seen the 1851 census entry at HO107/2349 Fol 31 p26? This family were all born in Yorks, but had moved to Lincs. The daughter Mary Ann m an Elliott in Sheffield, so could your Jane be one of this family?
The father William is a Dealer in pots

Have not found a Margaret Swales - have found a Magdalena though.

This family married into Cunninghams and Wilsons, and later the Rhodes.

They appear to come from Kirkby Moorside in Yks.

From the TOP

James Swales b.cir 1786 married Esther Sowden she was bapt 1794 Holm Apon Spalding Moor Yks, and they were married 1812 at Kirkby Moorside Yks. Their children were:

Thomas c.1812 K.Moorside married 1834 Magdalena Cunningham

Jane c.1814 K.Moorside died infancy

Jeremiah c.1814 K.Moorside m.1834 Elizabeth Cunningham Wilson

James c.1816 K.Moorside m.Mabel Busfield

Hannibal c.1819 K.Moorside m.Prudence Smith d/o William & Eliz.

Jane c.1821 K.Moorside no other info

Mary c.1822 K.Moorside m.Richard Cunningham

Robert c.1824 K.Moorside m. 1846 Ann Davey d/o Wm & Susan

Elizabeth c.1827 K.Moorside no other info

Frank c.1831 K.Moorside no other info

and finally

Christiana Swales c.1829 K.Moorside married Thomas Rhodes b.cir 1820 Tunstall Yks in 1846 at Hull.

Their son Thomas Rhodes b.cir 1846-50  Hull (dates vary) married Jane Cunningham b.cir 1854 York., in 1871 at Hull.

Their daughter Harriett b.cir 1873 Hull, married Ambrose Gray b.1873 Nth Hykeham, a horse dealer. They lived in Boston in a caravan in Frieston Road until about 1906, when they bought a house and settled in the town. When the horse trade died, Ambie turned to Scrap. They were my great grandparents.

Turning to the Cunninghams:

Richard Cunningham b.cir 1790 & Mary Miller b.1793 Cawood Yks d/o Joseph & Magdalen, were married in 1809 at Selby Yks.

Richards sister Grace married a John Wilson in 1814 at Thorne Yk.

Richard and Marys children included:

Richard Cunningham c.1812 Selby married Mary Swales (above)
and Meralina/Megalina/Magdalena Cunningham c.1810 Selby married Thomas Swales (above).

The Elizabeth Cunningham Wilson (above) who married Jeremiah Swales (above) was the daughter of Grace Cunningham and John Wilson (named above) b.1816 K.Moorside.

Hope that all makes sense the intermarriages are so convoluted!

Ann

My great grandma is Mary Cunningham from York she married my great granddad Benjamin Moore, if ur from york and u know the travelling families then u will probably know my family, my grandad is called james moore but people call him Jim and my dad the same but call him Jimmy or J.B.
my great granny Mary Cunninghams brother I think is Benjamin Cunningham and her uncle is John Cunningham the VC (Victoria Cross) winner.
im currently trying to do my family tree so you could be of some help
i do know of the swales' through my dad and his cousins but have never met them but Im pretty sure that it will be the same Cunninghams because my great granny was originally from Hull along with the rest of the Cunninghams, my email adress is themoore@hotmail.co.uk so if you think I could help you get in touch boss.

Hi,
       I don’t know if this adds to the information, but one of my family,
 Rose Cunningham married Francis Swales in 1850 in Scarborough. Francis Swales was born in Pickering in 1831. [He might be the Frank Swales that An65 mentions born 1831?]
Rose Cunningham was the daughter of John Cunningham and his wife Ellen. I think she was baptised at Richmond near Leyburn, Yorkshire in 1833.
The Cunningham family came down to England from Paisley Scotland.

I don’t know what happened to the family of Francis and Rose Swales after the 1851 census at Scarborough. Francis was listed as a Potter, which I think is a type of Hawker [?]
