Thanks both........
well....I have to agree it says 'visitor'......
.....but if you have seen Thomas Swales birth certificate born 8 months earlier than the 1851 census(which I have here) it shows 'Harriet Swales of Norrisons Passage'.....so she wasn't a casual overnight visitor was she?
What is beginning to puzzle me is with all these variations, how many records of the same thing exist?.......If you look at the 1841 census, separating John Metcalfe and Harriet Swales, is a liddle ole feller called Thomas Wales (with his wife down a bit further down).....
Still, it does appear that I am going to have to find out if Thomas Metcalfe and John Metcalf are one and the same person.
Thanks again, AL
PS.I'm now off to find out who Mary Swale had as a father (she is the Unm mother of Harriet)....this is going to be fun.
