Catherine Report 23 Aug 2010 16:47

If 1901 is correct, then this could be a marriage for sister Winifred:-

Marriages Mar 1920 (>99%)

Cooper George A Swainston Sunderland 10a 1221
Swainston Winifred M Cooper Sunderland 10a 1221

.......so still in the same area in 1920!

So where are they in 1911?????


Births Sep 1899
Swainston John James Sunderland 10a 681

possible?
Marriages Dec 1921 (>99%)
Swainston John J Old Sunderland 10a 1427
Old Mary Swainston Sunderland 10a 1427
