Richard was living at Keepershield (7km north of Hexham, grid reference NY901727) at the time of the births of Jane and John but had moved a kilometre away to the farm of Cockplay by the time Thomas was born. He died at Cockplay 39 years later.
The name is spelt Swindale except in the baptism entry for John (Swindell) and the burial record for Eleanor (Swindle)
Notes:
1 No record has been found of the marriage of Richard to Eleanor but Eleanor Swindle is recorded as being from Cockplay at the time of her burial in 1775, as was Richard two years later.
2 Richard was probably born about 1690 - 1700. The earlier end of the date range would result in his baptism not being recorded in the Warden registers, which only commence in 1695. He could be an earlier son of the Robert Swindal whose son George was baptised in 1696 in Warden
