1851 census lookup please
« on: Saturday 21 July 07 18:47 BST (UK) »
I would very much appreciate a lookup for Judith Swift born about 1801 in Lincolnshire.  In 1841 she was in Swaton.  No sign then of husband John.  Children then were Dean, Edward and George

Many thanks
Sonia

I'm rather puzzled by this one.  Dean isn't a common name and there's only one Dean Swift in Swaton in 1851 but the rest of the family don't quite match up.

1841 - HO107, piece 202, folio 312, p 14.
Swaton, Lincs.

Mary Swift, Head, W, 56, b. Sewstern?
Dean Swift, Son, S, 30, Ag lab, b. Sewstern.
William Swift, Son, S, 28, Carpenter, b. Sewstern.
Edward Swift, Son, S, 24, Ag lab, b. Swaton.
George Swift, Son, S, 21, Ag lab, b. Swaton.

Are they yours?

hi Monica
there has been a little saga going on here - Judith variously calls hersef Judith, Mary and in 1861 Susanna!!! I wonder why?  Susannah was the first daughter born in 1814

I think it's one and the same family but I've got Dean down as being born in Buckminster - so there is still some doubt
thanks for the lookup
Sonia
