1881 UK Census

1900 US Census

1910 US Census

1920 US Census

 One census indicates born Nov 1848, but not in 1851 census.  Age in
 1861 and 1881 census indicates born about 1852.
 Living with his sister, Margaret Shaw in 1861.  This is how we make the tenuous
 connection to Mary Swale/Swales of Swainby/Whorlton.
 In 1871, Wife Mary and daughter Annie are listed as Swales, and living with
 Mary's parents.  Thomas is not with them.  There is a Thomas Smith,
 age 19, born in Swainby,a servant, living with another family in Easby.
  I suspect this might be our Thomas.  Everything fits but the last name.
 Either he gave his name as Smith, or it was really mistranscribed.

 Came to the US in 1887/88 with a Frances and John.  There is a T. (or J.) Swales
 on the steamship Wyoming, 25 Apr 1888, with two children, Francis an John, ages
 15 and 7 respectively.  The only problem is that Francis is listed as male,
 and located in forward steerage, which is consistent with being male. T. Swales'
 profession is hard to read, but may be miner (or minister).

 Frances appears to have two illegitimate sons with different fathers
 in the 1900 census, William J. and Thomas H.
