Hannibal and Christiana
« on: Sunday 30 October 05 13:42 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone help at all.  I am trying to trace the marriage of Hannibal Swales b. 1810-1812 - Stockton?  and Christiana Stephenson b. 1812 (Pickering).  They had at least three children - Richard, Hannah and Isabella.  Unfortunately I have no idea if they married County Durham or Yorkshire but have searched but cannot find a marriage for them.  Appreciate it if anyone could be more successful than me

Not in the Durham Marriage Index 1813 -1837 but in case they are connected...
Jonas Smith Swaile to Isabella Johnson 23 Aug 1829 Whitburn
Margaret Swailes to Daniel Allison 29 Sep 1830 Stockton
Francis Swails to Elizabeth Stephenson 20 May 1833 Stockton
When and where was the first child born?
On the BVRI there is a baptism for Hannibal and Francis Swales on 15th May 1814 in Aycliffe County Durham  Parents Francis and Christiana Swales.    Francis Swales married Christiana Stephenson in Pocklington, Yorks 25 Aug 1800.  There are also some Hannibal Swales in Lancashire in the Clitheroe area.

On the 1851 census Hannibal and Christiana are in Thornaby Yorkshire with their children
Lovinah 14 born Yarm Yorkshire
Francis 11, Margaret 3 and Richard 11 months all born South Stockton Yorkshire.

Yarm parish registers I believe are on the IGI so it isn't likely they married there but perhaps it might help narrowing the search down to the surrounding area, in the absence of any other leads.

On the 1851 census Hannibal gives his birthplace as Acliffe Durham. On the 1861 census the family is in Guisborough Yorkshire. Hannibal gives his birthplace as Yackley Durham as does his brother Thomas aged 36.
