Hi, thank you so much,

So my William Swain was actually John William Swain?

I’m going to have to find a death for his first wife Eleanor.

So many for tales for this family.

Did you manage to find anything for Alfred?

With more time and experience I will find more ways getting info

Thank you again,

Difficult to know if he was John William or just William. Could be an error by vicar in register or could be correct. Would think his wife would have given the info.

Have you looked for a bapt that would fit either name with father William.

As for Alfred, not finding a lot on him after 1861. There is a marriage in 1881 in area to Catherine Cassady if I remember, his father was John, so if burial info correct it may be a possible.

Good luck

I do find it inconsiderate of them changing their names all the time ha ha

In 1851 census it says he is born in Harrington Lincolnshire but that seems to be a long way away

Just a line to say Sandpit Lane was changed to Welby Street Grantham and Greenwoods lane changed to Greenwoods Row which was just off Welby Street.

Hi Tup1, thank you for that information.

Still very much stuck on this case, cant find and births for William Swain or John Swain in Lincolnshire.

Not sure which way I can go with this side of my family now, really want it to go back further but just stuck all the time

Hi In the 1851 census the place of birth could be a miss spelling of Honington a village just outside of Grantham instead of Harrington.

It looks like it says Honington to me.

The construction is very different from Haston on the next line.
