Hi Ed I wouldn't feel to bad about it, you have seen that many times but I haven't so can look at it afresh and perhaps see what you have missed as you are used to seeing it I can assure you we all do it, and I mean all :-) A very good way of finding new leads and fresh information, is to get out the certificates you have and go over them again, even if you think you know them off by heart, I will guarantee you will find something new even though you have seen them many times before, sometimes a witness, sometimes an address, in the course of continued research you will have come across new places and people and these often trigger the memory cells when rereading old certs and documents Now I suspect you need to reread the information I posted earlier The J SWIFT I would suggest is Jonathan SWIFT b1812 the brother of Thomas SWIFT b1817 (and Joseph SWIFT) so yes very much related A Cab (short for Cabriolet) Proprietor was basically a taxi owner driver There will be many Tile Hills around the Country but the one you seek is a small area close or in Berkswell, there is still a Tile Hill about 3 miles from Berkswell but you would need to do a little more research to check if its the same one as in the 1871 era Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 29/08/2012 22:57, Ed Palmer wrote: > After looking at that photo for years I never noticed the difference in the > first initials used by the 2 Swifts different.

I've been following this thread with interest. I live just up the road from Tile Hill Village, which is now so close to Coventry that you would need to check on a map where one ends and the other begins. To further complicate matters there is also an area of Coventry called Tile Hill, or Tile Hill North, to distinguish it from the village. If you ever find a more accurate address I would be glad to check for you if the building is still there.
