Notes
General:
170119:

The mother's name for this family changes for the last two children found in the alphabetical transcript of the parish baptismal register from Mary Swain to Bridget Swain. It is possible her name was Mary Bridget or Bridget Mary, or perhaps there is simply an error in this transcript. 1685
