        FreeBMD has a death for William Swan Dec 1866 age 46 Manchester 8d 189. There is also a William Swan death in Manchester Dec 1865, before they started putting age at death on the index, so that one could possibly be William jr.

        I'm not sure whether William is "Mar" or "Wdr" on the 1861 - there is a death for a Sarah Swan in Manchester Dec 1858.

          And there is a Thomas Swan death Mar 1863 Manchester; again, before age at death was put on the index so no idea if it's your Thomas or not.

          How about this for John in 1871?

              Ooh yes, it looks as if her age and birthplace match your Maria:
              1871 RG10; Piece: 4054; Folio: 95; Page: 57
              3 Buckley's Bdg, Manchester
              John Lingard Head M 29 Bricklayer Preston
              Maria Do Wife M 25 Braid Tenter(?) Manch.

              And they are living next door to a John Swann age 72, Velvet Dyer and his wife Maria 72, both born Manchester. Are these William's parents?

                Thanks for all that Kite. I am so stupid I didn't notice Sarah was missing on the 1861. I will check that marriage of Maria at the archives.
