On 20 Sept 1782 the Overseers of St Giles in the Fields (a Parish in London) reported they found Elizabeth Swinnerton there wandering and lodging in the open air, and that she had legal settlement in Tetbury. They sent her to Denham in Buckinghamshire, as it was on the direct route to Tetbury.
Elizabeth made a Declaration, that she was aged about 44 years, widow of John Swinnerton who had been dead about 2 years, that he had told her he served an apprenticeship for seven years to his father George Swinnerton a Taylor in the Parish of Tetbury, and never obtained a subsequent settlement, nor had she done anything whereby settlement could be obtained since the decease of her husband and that she had lately been wandering and lodging in the open air
She arrived back in Tetbury 25 Sept 1782. End of notes, no mention of the children.
