HI Carolyn we are related i am also the grand child of Mary Byron and Robert Swan Smith. They all moved to Greenock and then Robert Swan died up in Glasgow where most of the family stayed. He died in Partick I have the records. If you can in some way private message me.
not sure how this works. Thank you Hume you have solved the mystery of the Swan thing for me. I am just curious why it was done but it must have been innocent as he named every one of his children Swan Smith so he was not hiding his roots and clearly wanted the name Swan remembered and marked. There is a Robert Swan Smith in all subsequent generations.
