swinnerton death

[*Sandra*]

Samuel Swinnerton was born about 1847 Tipton, Staffordshire, England. He was married twice when in England first to a Martha Kirkham in 1870. two children Hannah born 1891 and John born 1892.
Then to a Alice Monk in in 1899 one son Frank born 1900.

It was in the early 1900's that Samuel and son John left England via Liverpool and went to New York.
He is shown on various census but then disappears.
He might have married again but not proven to a Martha Herrmann in 1915 Kings Saratoga.
Interested if the third marriage could be proved and more importantly when he ended up.

Wow Sandra and Polar bear some powerful research you have both found.
I keep reading it over and over.

So it seems that the year and place I have for Samuel is incorrect. The year you have found fits in better to the tree I have.
Now the interesting part. It is obvious that when Samuel went to America with his young son John.  That he was still married to Alice Monk. So he then married Martha Herrmann and went on to have a family with her.

So maybe he was covering his tracks and dropped the Swinnerton name  and used Winslow.
Does this sound feasible?

Many Thanks,
bswinno.

It seems Samuel did change his name, maybe he didn't want to be found.  It would be interesting what he described his marital status as on the marriage to Martha 

Notice on the marriage certificate for son Frank Swinnerton when he married Alice Lindley 21 st June 1930.
Frank was 29 years - bachelor - warehouseman - 46 Ainsworth Road Radcliffe - father Samuel Swinnerton - Pattern Maker (deceased)

Perhaps Frank was just told his father had died 

It seems Alice Monk/Swinnerton never remarried - probate to Frank Swinnerton when she died 8 March 1949 - (probate 28 April 1949 Manchester Lancs. )

Just realised we covered Frank in the previous thread

Yes Sandra very intriguing defiantly looks like a name change to cover his tracks.
So my search now needs to be for the Winslow name.
Interesting what you said about those American marriage certificates. Are any available online?

Haven't found anything for either Samuel or Alice Swinnerton in the divorce records.
