Deaths Jun 1852
SMALES Thomas Stokesley 9d 278

However, there are quite a few Smales's living in Stokesley, so this is speculation.

Have you got Francis Swales in all the censuses without him?
Have you looked for deaths in alternative spellings?
Thank-you

Hi there, my uncle Thomas Swales, born 1850 in Stokesley, Yorkshire to Francis (1814-1891) and Elizabeth Swales (1814-1853) disappears after the 1851 ... can you help me find out what happened to him?

Thank you,

Peter
