Charlotte Nash Swarbrick

This photo is of Charlotte Nash Swarbrick, her husband, James and her son, James R. Swarbrick. There was nothing written on the back so we don't know where this was taken or when.

All we do know for sure about Charlotte Nash Swarbrick is that she was born September 25, 1897 in Montana and that she died in February of 1978 at Nokomis, Montgomery Co., Illinois. She married James Swarbrick, date of marriage unknown, but he was born June 16, 1893 in England and died September of 1958 at Nokomis, Montgomery Co., Illinois.

Charlotte and James had 2 children; Jean A. Swarbrick who was born in September of 1915 and James R. Swarbrick who was born in 1921 and that is the extent of our knowledge about her children.

We have found 2 census reports for the Swarbrick family;

1920 census, Nokomis, Montgomery Co. Illinois

5052 Cedar lane..Headen, Thomas, Head, male, white, 44, born in England, coalminer
Headen, Francis, wife, female, white, 42, born in Illinois

I found it interesting that Charlotte and her family lived right next door to Samuel's 2nd wife, Frances. They were obviously divorced as Frances is living with her 3rd husband, Thomas Headen, by the time this census was taken.
