Hello Barbara,
I am not sure where my SWAIN family started but I have been able to trace them from 1766 in Liverpool. My particular branch Walter SWAIN moved to Wallasey about 1860. His son Henry was one of the councillers who started the Guinea Gap Swimming pool. I went to see it and the old homes last year and it is still well used.
Other branches of the family went to various parts of Cheshire, Lancs and Middlesex.
Please let me know if we do have rellies in common. ::) If you send me a private email we could exchange private addresses and I can send you more of my tree.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
I have found a Joseph Edward SWAIN dob 1908 Chester but then I have a problem William Henry SWAIN - I have two; one in Stockport, Cheshire Mar 1876 and another in Holborn Jun 1889. The first one would be 32 when his son was born the other 19. I do think you will have to buy Joseph Edward's birth cert to find out who his mother was and then perhaps we can find a marriage which would give a clue to which, if either, W H we are talking about.
Sorry I haven't been a bit more help - yet! never give up!

Hello Duckpuddle!
My SWAINs seem to come from Liverpool/ Cheshire area. The first SWAIN I have found is William and his sons were all born in Liverpool 1766 etc. George SWAIN did go near to London and then his offspring went to Enfield and around there but I am sorry to say I haven't found them in Kent - YET!!!!
Regards
Dotty

Hi
I have Mary Swain of Wellington, Somerset, married George Wyman of Oundle Northants on 2 Jan 1812 in Oundle.
Mary's parents were John Swain and Mary Spicket
They married 29 Jul 1784 in St John's, Wellington
The four children were all baptised in the Presbyterian Church Wellington
I don't have the Swains any further back
-
I have the SWAIN family back to 1817 in Wellington and environs- James SWAIN married to Mary from Axminster, Somerset but I haven't found any connection to my SWAIN family. If anybody would like the pieces of paper and tree please just tell me as I have been trying to find somebody who is researching this tree to pass it on. It also covers SWAINs who went to Tasmania and South Africa.
-
Hmm I have no spare James Swains nor can I see one it the Wellington records online
John and Mary's children were
Hannah b 11.6.1785
Mary b 6.5.1787
Samuel b 23.1.1792
Sarah b 5.9.1794

Oh I am stupid! Let's put it down to trying to do too much at once! ;D
The Devon SWAINs are all around Axminster - Musbury and Kilmington are about 3 miles from Axminster.
But the offer still stands - if there is a SWAIN out there who would like to know where to start on their Devon rellies I might be able to help.
