Notes
1 The Robinson/bell transcript gives earlier dates for the baptisms of both Margaret and Robert than does the IGI. Was the source of the IGI an end of year summary?
2 Although Margaret was baptised in Ovingham the family had moved back to Anwick in the parish of St John Lee (just across the river from Hexham) within a few years. The marriage is witnessed by William and Jane Swindle - the names of Margaret's elder brother and sister. William Grayton (here of the parish of Newcastle St John's) with William Swindle are the witnesses to the marriage of Jane Swindle and William Turner in Newcastle St John's next year.
The only other known Margarets of a suitable age are Margaret Swindle born 1808 - who is believed to have married William Proud on 6th June 1835 in St Augustine's, Alston, Cumberland - and Margaret Swindle born 1816 at Knubbock, Hexham. Neither have a known connection with a William Swindle and the latter Margaret would be somewhat young for the marriage.
