1841 Census Lewisham for Swain
« on: Saturday 10 May 08 22:53 BST (UK) »
Hello, :)
I wondered if someone could look up the name Swain on the 1841 census for Lewisham please?
William Swain and his wife Martha nee Mackavoy married in Lewisham in 1818. Martha was born in Deptford Kent 19/05/1789 so would have been about 52 in 1841.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Best Wishes from Quester :)

Only Martha SWAIN I can see in 1841 is in Tower Hamlets.

Hello Eyesee,
Well, it probably is her, especially as one of the sons is called William, presumably after his father.  At the moment I have nothing else to verify it with, so I must get cracking and find out more.
Thanks for giving me a good lead.
 Best Wishes from Quester :)
