Alan,

About time for another update of some more info I have found..

1) Robert Swindle, born 1859, son of Joseph & Sarah Ann (nee Coldwell).

1901 Census: 35 Penhevad St, Canton, Cardiff (RG13 / 4988 folio 62 page 24)

Robert Swindell Head M 42 Iron Ship Builder Worker Howdon on Tyne Northumberland
Jane M Swindell Wife M 38   North Shields Northumberland
Isabella C Swindell Daur S 16   North Shields Northumberland

Note: Swindell not Swindle.

I believe Isabella was their first child so did they have anymore children and, if so, did they survive as they are not on the census?. Not found yet on the 1891 Census.

2) Ellen Swindle (nee Walton) who married Peter Swindle in 1871

1901 Census: 57 Norfolk Street, North Shields (RG13 / 4802 folio 44 page 22)

Hannah Walton Head Wid 37 Living on own means Cumberland Alston
???? J Walton Son S 12   Northumberland North Shields
Edith E Walton Daur S 10   Northumberland North Shields
Frederick Walton Son S 8   Northumberland North Shields
Isacc W Walton Son S 1   Durham Stockton
Ellen Swiedle Aunt Wid 50   Cumberland Alston

Note: The surname Swiedle is how it appears in the transcription given by www.census.pro.gov.uk and also on the actual page but

I'm sure it should be Swindle. It ties in with the Walton name. Also the Census entry for Ellen's family has no head of household recorded i.e.:

Kings Head (Nenthead) (RG13 / 4853 folio 71 page 6)

Isacc Swindle Son S 24 Carter Worker Cumberland Alston
John Son M 29 Carter Worker Cumberland Alston
Annie Daur in Law M 22     Cumberland Alston
Isabella Percival Servant S 20 General Servant Domestic Worker Cumberland Alston

3) Rachel Swindle (1822 - 1896)

1861 Census: Workhouse (Hexham) (RG9/3860 folio 19 page 1)

Rachel Swindle Inmate Unmarried 38 House Servant West Allen Northumberland
John Swindle Son Boy 9 none West Allen Northumberland
Susanna Swindle Daughter Girl 6 none West Allen Northumberland

At long last I have found this missing Census entry for Rachel and it introduces another find,

a second illegitimate child, daughter

10) Elizabeth Mary Swindle (1854 -               )

On the web site, she is shown as the daughter of Craig and Hannah (nee Laing) but I think her name is just Elizabeth not Elizabeth Mary.

The following show Elizabeth:         St. Catherine's Index (births),

Church Baptism Register (9/5/1854, St. Cuthbert's, Allendale) 1861 Census and 1871 Census.
