Swales
Nationality: England

 Swale, Swales. --- Local:  (1) 'of Swallow Hill,' a hamlet near
 Barnsley, co. Yorks.  At least there is evidence in favour of this
 view.  (2) 'At the Swale,' from residence beside the river of that
 name, whence Swaledale.  Doubtless this will be deemed the more
 satisfactory solution.  Swales is the genitive form; cf. Williams,
 Jones, Brooks, Styles, etc.  The first reference is in Darton, the
 parish in which Swallow Hill lies.
