Hi Potty Dotty

My father, grandfather etc are Swain's, Grandfather lived for a time in Enfield Middlesex area, but originally came from Maidstone, Broadstairs Kent area but relations could have moved into other areas.

My grandfather George Swain born 1896 any one in your tree related.

regards Duckpuddle

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

Puddleduck,
I don't like pushing other genealogy sites but have you looked on B-G Forum as they have quite a collection of Kent/London SWAINs
Good luck

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.

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.
