Thanks, everyone some good links and info
I'll come back to each later
I have James being from Co Roscommon, Anne being from Co Kildare so ill look into that as well.
Looks like there were lots of Swaines in and around Gorey
Interesting that I can not find any Swaine's or Devine buried locally
Don't jump around too much or you could tie your self up in knots.
Concentrate for now on finding all the children's births, that will track the movement of the family, than try to work back on one line as far as possible before going to the other line.
When you have that you can go over all again looking for marriages of siblings, deaths etc. you can than look again at the early records and possibly get even further back with all that search experience under you belt.
