Facts and Events
Thomas Swallow was born on 4th November 1836 and baptised a month later at Wheathampstead in Hertfordshire. He was the son of a straw plaiter named Elizabeth Swallow, formerly Catline, and her husband William Swallow, an agricultural labourer. Thomas appears in the 1841 census living with his parents and siblings at Gustard Wood in Wheathampstead. He has yet to be researched after 1841.
