Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 96 Send Message	Sorry, nipped out... and didn't get back when expected. Yes, it was Mary Swathe(s) also sometimes spelt Swaithe(s). I have her in censuses as a single person, but not since she married, and I am trying to trace descendants as she was the sister of my line, if all that makes sense. I think she did marry Thomas Williams because both Mary Swathes and Thomas Williams are mistranscribed on Freebmd as page 545, instead of 515, and I concluded that it was probably a couple who were mistranscribed. I did try to trace the other 2 men in the censuses forward to see who they married.. to no conclusion! Hence my plea for someone else to look!! Many thanks for you looking, sorry I wasn't here to respond.

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 96 Send Message	I also can't find on Ancestry the following couple: Thomas Williams Mary Williams born 1852, Martley, Worcestershire DIST (could be a number of villages). They were married in Dec 1872, but as I can't find them, I don't have an age for Thomas. I have looked in England and in Wales... :( any time spent looking up, even if in vain, is much appreciated!
