    1861 George was a retired farmer living at Greystones in Watten with Elizabeth and a lodger Elizabeth must of died between 1861 &1864 as he was a widower at time of his death.

    Great thanks for that it would certainly seem to be my George and Barbara I knew Barbara must of died before 1841 as she wasn't on the census.

    The Swansons in Watten own the farm over the road from me. Could they be relatives?
