William Swan b 1820's Pt Levie, Quebec, Canada

Hi
Is there any one who has info on this William who may have been orphaned when he was 2 years.
His parents may have been William (38 years) & Letitia (25 years) Swan who both died around 1824  & 10 Oct 1824.
William married Elizabeth CAIN (Nee Cassidy) 28 July 1853, Sydney had 7 children,& died  5 Jan 1871, Lonsdale West Melbourne.
We have not been able to find a place of Birth or confirm how he arrived in Australia.
I believe he was caught up in the 1838 Canadian Rebellion and arrived out on the Marquis of Hastings 4 Feb 1841 arriving in Sydney with many others as prisoners not convicts, as Queen Victoria couldn't be bothered going thru all the trials & decided the Colonies should have these rebels.
I'd appreciate any birth or Parents marriage and place of their birth which we believe is Scotland somewhere?

Kind Regards
Pauline

Hi Kerry
Thank you for answering my request.
Unfortunetely, we have nothing else other than where he said on his marriage cerificate and childrens birth certificates of where he was from. Because he may have been orphaned he might not actually have the place of birth correct. Very frustrating.
Were the siblings you speak of born in the same area?
Kind Regards
Pauline
