John Swindal

Untraced ancestry

Married Ann Picts (or Piels or Piet or Poet)

Children

Margaret, baptised 5 October 1718 in the parish of Hexham with Stonecroft (Roman Catholic), Northumberland
Robert, baptised 2 April 1721 in the parish of Hexham with Stonecroft (Roman Catholic), Northumberland
Mary, baptised 9 May 1724 in the parish of Hexham with Stonecroft (Roman Catholic), Northumberland

Buried 1725 - Hexham-with Stonecroft - 'of Boathouse' 1, also probably the burial of John Swindal recorded at Warden on 27th of May  1725

John's surname is spelt Swindale in the three later register entries, and otherwise Swindel and  Swindal or Tindal.

John could be John, son of Richard Swindall, baptised in 1702 but this would make him very young to be starting a family

No appropriate matches for a baptism for Ann Piels or Picts have been found in the IGI.

Both John and Ann's names are followed by 'C' in the registry - I believe this denotes a convert to Roman Catholicism (as opposed to those baptised into the Roman Catholic church).

No further information known

Notes

1    There was a Boat House on the south side of the Tyne  ferry  from Hexham to (Lower) Warden and one on the north side of the ferry to St' John Lee and Acomb. These are sometimes known as West Boat and East Boat.
