Notes

1    The birth of James Henry Thomas Swindell was registered in the fourth quarter of 1865 in Shoreditch (FreeBMD 1c 145). This is the only James Swindell whose birth matches S. Swindell's son in the 1871 census.

Not found in 1881 census - perhaps Sarah married and the children were listed under their stepfather's name.
