Samuel SWIFT (1748-?)

and Mary NOAKES (1754-1834)

 

Samuel Swift and Mary Noakes married by banns on 9 July 1779 in Wadhurst, Sussex.  They were both of Wadhurst and both able to sign their names.  The witnesses to the marriage were Thomas Bassett and Thomas Cooper who both signed their names.  (Thomas Bassett was Samuel's brother-in-law.)

Samuel Swift was baptised on 10 June 1748 in Wadhurst.  He was the son of Samuel Swift (1718-1800) and Esther Eastwood (1722-?).

Mary Noakes was baptised on 25 March 1754 in Wadhurst.  She was the daughter of William Noakes (1718-1804) and Elizabeth Noakes (1724-1791).  Mary died aged 80 years and was buried on 23 May 1734 in Wadhurst.  The burial register records that she was the wife of Samuel, so may have died before her husband.  Her paternal grandparents were John Noakes (1676-1749) and Elizabeth Baulkam, and maternal grandparents, Robert Noakes (1700-1774) and Elizabeth Osbourne (1700-1788).
