Notes
1 The marriage is recorded against two dates in the IGI, 8th February and 19th February. The earlier date may be just banns.
2 1 The marriages of Rachel and Sarah Swindle are recorded at Berwick-on-Tweed in 1816 and 1821 respectively. It seems very likely that these are the two daughters of George Swindle who died when they were 3 and 8 years old respectively. Was Mary Jordan from northern Northumberland? No
3 George was allocated an allotment of 9 acres of land in the inclosure of 1792/1801 in respect of his ownership of Farneyside
It appears that George (b 1793) might have been working down a coal pit in Walker, Northumberland in 1800 (when he was 7!) so Mary Jordan does seem to have moved the family away from Allendale.
3 George signs his name Swindle in the record of his marriage to Mary Jordan - though the entry is in the name of George Swindale.
