John Swindle

Son of Peter Swindle1 born around 1771 2. Probably son of  Peter Swindal and Susannah Nicholson. 3

Married Ann Bell on 14th June 1794 in St Cuthbert's, Allendale, Northumberland

Children

    Peter, baptised 16th May 1795 at Ninebanks, Northumberland (from Nook)

Buried 29 June 1851 at Ninebanks, Northumberland (from Dryburn Hall) 4

By 1839, at the marriage of his son Peter, John was calling himself 'Smelter's Agent' (ie manager).

Recorded on the 1841 census at Dryburn Hall

Notes

1    See marriage entry.
2    Aged 80 at time of death in 1851. Also recorded, according to Anne Roberts,  in 1851 census.
3.   Peter and Susannah were married by licence 1st Jan 1771 but their first recorded child was not born till 1774. No other Peter is known who could be the father of this John so I agree with Anne Roberts that John is probably the first, unrecorded, son of Peter and Susannah.
4    Registered in 3rd quarter of 1851 at Hexham "4th July 1851 at Dryburn Hall, John Swindle, 79, Lead Ore Smelter" The date on the death certificate should be the date of death - though the burial date is five days earlier! The informant was Mary Swindle, presumably hid daughter-in-law.
