Hi all descendants of Thomas SWANN,
Like you, I'm a descendant of his. Thomas is my 3xgt g/father; Charles Douglas my 2xgt. g/f, his dau. Jessie Alice (who married Thomas Withnall PRINCE, making me a Swan(n) Prince <g>.
Charles Douglas's youngest sister married William Shaw SIMPSON (1829-1883) of 'Simpson Bowl' fame.
I've been at this game for some 30 years now, so I have quite a bit on L'pool SWANNs but I have never been confident of the parents of Thomas SWANN (c1766-1839), though I have a photo of one of his instruments.
Happy to swap information.
Trevor
