Remarried?

?Humphrey, baptised on the 27th of April 1627 at Macclesfield, Cheshire

Died before 1657

Notes

1    Identified from entry 1657 concerning church pews in the parish of the Michael's, Macclesfield. He had purchased land from 'Mr Cresswell' and (it is implied) the right to a pew transferred with the land.

2    He is described in 1657 as 'the late William Swindelles'.

3    There are references in the parish registers to William Swindells de Ranow. Eadsbury (Eddisbury) is in the township of Rainow so these are probably references to this William.

4    This marriage is suggested as fitting the assumed date of birth of John. There is another marriage of a William Swindells in 1596.
