Children:
1. Easther Swindlehurst. Christening 29 May 1814 St Leonards, Walton Le Dale, Lancs. Dy. Esther's father John a horse breaker at this time. It does seem odd that he was a cotton spinner in March and a horse breaker in May. Mind you, the name Kitty is on the marriage record and Esather's birth record so perhaps John was both a cotton spinner (job) and a horse-breaker (skill/hobby).

I've been worrying at this place name for a while convinced that it wasn't St Helens near Liverpool and your entry for the marriage of Thomas Swin and Jane Bamber says St Helen, Garstang.

From Quaker historian Julia M Beedon:
Joshua Kelsall married a recent convert to the Society of Friends, Mary Swindlehurst, daughter of farmers Abraham and Elizabeth Swindlehurst, on July 10th 1816 at Yealand Conyers near Carnforth. At that time Joshua was descibed as a linen weaver but various other sources refer to him as either a husbandman or farmer throughout his life (6). As with many upland or marginal farmers in both Lancashire and Yorkshire during the last century it is quite possible that he carried on dual occupations, weather and circumstances permitting. Joshua continued to keep the shop as well as farming: he also taught the children of Friends and of other Wyresdale families for two and a half days per week and "for as much as was thought sufficient on the Sabbath Day". Until his death in 1854, September 25th, at the age of seventy-three, Joshua Kelsall maintained the first school in Upper Wyresdale . His teaching was said to be "after somewhat primitive fashion", but he was much beloved by the School and by the Meeting as a worthy man and Elder.

[John married again and to 'Rebecca' Isabella Ingham 30 Mar 1834 St Peter, Burnley, Lancs. Ar: ] [Note: BMI: Marriage 1790 Mary Swinglehurst & Ric. Ashworth, ChippingBT]
Ar: My great-great-grandfather being 13 years older than his brother Ben, married Miss Ann Ashworth in 1818 and four children were born. James, the eldest, was born in 1819 and in later Census returns gave his birthplace as Whalley. Elizabeth (b.1821), John (b.1823) and Ann (b.1826) gave their birthplace as Simonstone, but as Simonstone at that time was within the parish of Whalley, they were probably all born at the farm. John had four daughters born at Higham, I remember meeting two of these as great-aunts when I was a small boy in the 1920's. They were only very small children themselves when in 1859 John and his brother James decided that they were sufficiently confident to try for larger stakes in the heart of the cotton industry - at Heywood between Rochdale and Bury, and so close to the cotton capital of Manchester. Here they set up with a fellow named Grindrod, the firm of "Swinglehurst & Grindrod, Manufacturers of Cotton Goods, Twills, Shirting and Domestics" at Ivy Green Mill, John Street, Heywood. This is close to the centre of the town. Many of the local people of Higham appear to have made the move to Heywood at the same time, as Census returns of Castleton and Heywood show. Among these was Elizabeth, the sister of John and James, with her husband Joseph Foster of Sabden. James and Jane (nee Ingham) with their son Richard shared the same mill as Cotton Weavers in their own right. The Inghams had come from Newchurch in Pendle, they shared Room and Power at the Ivy Green Mill and lived at 24, William Street, Heywood.

Ron: I just had to send this one from the 1841 census for Preston It involves our Richard Swindlehurst the shoemaker. In 1841 he was in River Street! River Street is where my William Swindlehurst born 1813 lived in 1871! I know that by 1851 Richard had moved out to Nile Street but is this another coincidence? I think I have found a missing Link! Incidentally Nile Street was next to and parallel with North Road. It looks like the Richard above born about 1797 is a brother of my William born 1786 in Over Wyresdale. Here's how: James Samples married Jane Swindlehurst at St John's Preston 1 April 1848 (IGI) In the marriage entry in St John's Preston for Betsy Samples and Richard Helm on Christmas day 1875, Betsy gave her father as the late James Samples. I deduce from the above census entry that Jane Samples was a widow not unmarried and that Betsy Samples was her daughter. I could not find the birth of Betsy Samples in 1850 at St John's yet. I will need to recheck that the census gave Richard's birthplace as York and not Yorkshire So if Richard and William are brothers then Betsy Samples and Sarah Ann Swindlehurst were 2nd cousins and probably met her future husband via this relationship. A good theory?

Ron: Jane's daughter Betsy Samples married Richard Helm at St John's Preston Christmas day 1875. Betsy gave her father as the late James Samples. This links to marriage of Robert Helm and Sarah Ann Swindlehurst: Preston 1877 of Ron/Gill's Tree. From Ron: '...the wedding, 25 Dec 1875 Saint John, Preston, Lancashire, was witnessed by Robert and Alice Jane Helm, which makes it very certain to be Gill’s' and 'So if Richard (Betsy Samples>Helm's grandfather above) and William (Ron's/Gill's born 1786, son of William Swindlehurst born Over Wyresdale 1741/2) are brothers then Betsy Samples and Sarah Ann Swindlehurst were 2nd cousins' Betsy, husband Richard and son James Samples born <1879>, had still unmarried Sarah living with them at 34 Aberdeen Street in 1881. Both Betsy and her aunt Sarah are shown as Cotton Winders at this time.
