The Swanns may have worked for David Crombie who rented Kilminning Framhouse, Crail. His son James emigrated to Australia on the Typhoon arriving Melbourne 4 March 1853. Another son William emigrated to Australia arriving on the Turon in Victoria on 7 January 1858.

I would be interested in any Swann Crombie relationship or did the Swanns just name their children after Crombie and his wife Jessie Webster?

Hi Dogcatcher  :)

Sorry, I'm not aware of any connection between my Swans and your Crombies...my Swans all lived in Sydney after they immigrated, and were in Burntisland, Fife before that.

If you think they might be connected, I'd really like to know about it!  :D

Cheers
Prue

Hi PrueM,

I may be entering this chat a bit late, but anyway here goes. Haha

I’m a Sydney based descendant of Henry Fairfax Swan. His Son Robert Joshua Campbell Swan is my Great Grandfather. Feel free to drop me a line if you like :)

Are you still tracing the Swans back to Scotland? I’m just trying to do the same, so I’d be interested to see how you went

Regards Dave
