Biography

Dorothy Chippendale was born in the Cabus area in 1785 to Robert Chippindale and Nancy Gardner. She was christened at St. Helen’s Church on 12 June 1785. It is likely that she grew up on her father’s farm with her five siblings.

On 31 March 1811, Dorothy married Matthew Swarbrick at St. Helen’s Anglican church in Garstang. The couple settled in Cabus where Matthew was a farmer. Over the next seven years, they had five children, all baptized at St. Helen’s.

No more has been uncovered of Matthew and Dorothy after the birth of their daughter Elizabeth in 1818.
