Family History Beginners Board / Swales or Swalies, Wilson, Varey - Falkirk/Bannockburn/Scotland, and Yorkshire
« on: Wednesday 14 March 18 17:40 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have any information about the Swalies (Swales) who were in Bannockburn and Falkirk areas in Scotland from 1850 onwards. From Yorkshire, Norse bloodline among others.
Charles Swalies (Swales) and Margaret Swalies nee Wilson (had at least two children: Isabella and Mary). No records that I can find in Scotland on Charles Swalies who was recorded as deceased by 1890. The only other Swales in the area at the time were Henry Swales and Elizabeth Swales (nee Varey), Joseph Swales, James Swales. Elizabeth Swales died in a caravan on the Bonnybridge showground, Falkirk in 1918. Her parents were Joseph Varey and Christiania Varey (nee Forrest).
Margaret Swalies parents were William Wilson and Mary Wilson (nee Lockhart).
A Sarah Swales died in 1894 in Bannockburn aged 3 months - father James Swales, hawker/traveller, mother Jessie Turnbull.
Isabella Swalies married a Forsyth and then lived with William Docherty with whom she had 5 children and had to specially declare Docherty as the father of them and that she'd not seen her Forsyth husband for years.
All were travellers and hawkers.
