    1. [B&S] Sir John Swaish - Mayor of Bristol
    2. John Farnhill
    3. Hi, I believe that Sir John Swaish, (1852-1931), mayor of Bristol in 1913, married Sarah Rowland Evans in Q1 1872. The only death I can find for Sarah is Q1 1915. My query is: Did John marry for a second time ? I've found a list of mourners for a funeral in Yorkshire in 1940 which includes 'Lady Swaish'. I've found a marriage in Q2 1916 that matches perfectly - John Swaish and Mary E Mitchell in Knaresborough, Yorks. But if this is correct, what is John Swaish doing so far away from Bristol? and I know of no connection between Mary and Bristol. (It's Mary's family that I'm researching) Any help / information gratefully received. Thanks John Farnhill Cardiff
