She was alive in 1883 when her father's will was written.

!Jennie at 10, Layerthorpe.

I have not found any Jane Swanbeck's on the FamilySearch website. Perhaps this is her married name??

Mary Ann is the 6th child born to Thomas Weadley and Margaret Austin. Her
sister Ann is the 2nd child. As of Nov 1995 we have yet to find the other four children.
!Mary became a member of the Salem Chapel Congragational church on the 27 April 1834. She was previously a member of the Lendal Congregational Church, member number 499. She was member number 202 of Salem Chapel. She lived in Layerthorpe, and the notes say that 'She died in peace after a long illness 17th Feb 1856.'
Joseph died before 1842, else why would his parents have two children alive
called Joseph?! It was this second Joseph who was made a freeman of the city of
York in 19 Jul 1863, not the first one as I had previously thought.
It appears that this Andrew died young, otherwise why would another son
!born to his parents also be called Andrew??!
In the will of Mary's Father, Mary is called Mary Lowe or Lown. I cannot tell from the writing. I have yet to find a marriage which can verify this though. There was no suggestion of children to Mary and her husband, they may have grown up, but then I don't really recall there being any mention of grandchildren in the will.

Joseph applied for his freedom of the City of York on the 3 July 1830. He had served his apprenticeship to his father from 1823. He was granted the Freedom of the City 3 Aug 1830.
!At the time he was trading as a Joiner in Manchester.
Thomas started his Apprenticeship to his father 21 Apr 1848.
!Was given the Freedom of the City of York on the 26 jan 1857, and he lived at 101, Layerthorpe, York.
!He was an apprentice to his Father Andrew and both were in the Brick and
!Tile making trade. Thomas lived in Layerthorpe at the time, and his father !is likely to have lived nearby also.
!His occupation was Rate and Debt Collector.
!At the 1871 Census there was a William Swuires Visiting with this family. He was only 9 years old, so I am wondering if he might be a nephew of Thomas or Sarah Jane...... He was born in Halifax. This family were living on Layerthorpe (A street, though with none of the usual street designations.
He was the 521st person to be baptised in to the Salem Chapel congregation.
!At the time of the 1871 Census he was a Joiner, probably still learning his trade.
