Hi,
I dont know the connection between the Swan families but thought the Crombie could have possibly been a link. Thanks for pointing out that the parents are different. We will keep on searching and find out if there is a connection. Many thanks Pru and Sue will try and locate my info and post it shortly.

Hi Pru,
Looks like we have a connection. We have traced back to Robert and Elizabeth so am sure we have a link.
Will get all my facts and post them tomorrow.
I found this as while back Robert Swan married a Simm and died in 1898 in Victoria, Australia and they had a son David Crombie Swan who died in 1935.
Now my James Swan named his second daughter Jessie Crombie Swan so really feel sure that there is a connection.

Hi Bob,
Not sure where George Boyce hails from. Know he came over to Durban, South Africa and they lived in Durban. I was interested seeing the George Boyce and though there may be a lead.
Will have investigate further,
thanks,

Hi Pru,
My James Swan was the son of Robert Swan and Helen Kay and James married Robina Webster in 1849 in Crail. He was born in Falkland, Fife in 1825.

Hi Prue,
I have a great great grandfather James Swan who came from Fife, Scotland, and settled in Durban, South Africa, in 1862.  Apparently he had a brother who went to Australia and your Henry has sons named James and Robert? My James's father was Robert Swan so wonder if there is a family connection?

Hi Bob,
I have a George Ernst Boyce who married my great Aunt Elizabeth Fowler Swan in Durban, South Africa and they had 2 children that I know about: Robina Elizabeth Boyce and Eric Raymonde Wentworthe Boyce. Elizabeth Swan was born in 1871 so George must have been born around 1870.
Any connection?
