As at the 1911 census the Swains lived next to a public house owned by the Kerfoot family - see    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003621977/

Therefore this topic may be of interest in that as the Kerfoot's old house can still be identified it may help locate the home of the Swains.

Spoke to my Mum this evening as she lived in Maudlintown around the same time as your father. I'm not sure if this is the same family but she said the Swains lived in Eden Vale (opposite Saltee Ave where mum lived) prior to moving to Antelope Rd. She recalls there being 3 girls and at least 7 boys before preceding to rattle off their names (although Mum moved to England almost 60 years ago she has this amazing memory for names!)

I can't repeat any of them as they may still be living but she did say one of the boys, Jim, died in a fire.

No doubt your Dad will be able to verify the facts.

Here's the Bride St church record of their marriage on 8th February 1906.

(The groom's father is resident in Chorley and the male witness is from Preston, Lancashire)

Oh bless your Mum, what a great memory! There were indeed 3 girls and 7 boys, but Jim is alive and well....I wonder whether there was another before him?
