Hi Shorts,

Thank you so very much for all your valuable information, I have not had full internet access during the past week, so although I have been able to see snippets I could not reply. So I just wanted to express my Thanks and let you no I haven't disapeared. I will be updating my tree based on yours and Hereman's work later on today. It goes without saying if I uncover anything I will share with you all. I'm hoping to make a trip to Wexford over bank holiday August, I want to view the church records too, I have had wonderful correspondance from the parish secretary and have the tel no. of the Sacristant in the parish. So if you have any record you want info on let me know and I will try and find your answer.

Best Wishes,
Laura  :D

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this site and was googling my ancestors then got excited when I saw all the 'Swanson' activity on here.

My Great Grandmother and those before her were Swansons hailing from Wexford, my side of the family the emigrated to 'Ireland by the sea' - Liverpool. My G Grandmother was Mary Ann Swanson born in 1886 in Temperance Row, Wexford her Father who was a mariner was called James Swanson b. 1854 in Wexford. Her Mother was Mary Cleare b. 1859 we think in Wexford although this is un-confirmed. By 1891 this family including Mary Ann Swanson siblings were in Liverpool

I cannot find any Swanson living in Temperace Row in the 1901 or 1911 census except that in 1911 a 'Katy Cleare' was visiting number 28, this house number did not feature in 1901. Still trying to trace Swansons' and Cleares' in Wexford, I have heard Mary Cleare was an only child which was quite something in them days.

I have just unearthed a death for another James Swanson who died in Wexford 1879 aged 62 and I feel he maybe my GGG Grandfather, place of birth unknown, although family rumour has it they were sailors who came from Sweden, certainly his son was a mariner.

Anyway I have plenty of family info if there are Swansons out there who are related.
Regards,
Laura  ;D
