One
of those who received it was Raymond Francis Swinfield of Rozelle,
New South Wales. He is part of Family 3,being the
great-great-grandson of the immigrant William Swinfield (1804-1876)
by his first wife, Sarah Ballard, who had died in England three years
before the family left.
Marriage of Daniel Swinfield in 1869 |
Daniel Swinfield (1877-1905) |
His brother, John Anthony of Tennyson Point, who is now also in his
late 70s, has provided me with a copy of another part of their family
tree, which was sent to him some years ago. This documents a whole
branch which I did not know of until now! It had been compiled by
John Campbell Swinfield (1912-1995), also of NSW and records himself,
his eight brothers and sisters, and their descendants. They were the
children of John Swinfield (1873-1961) and his wife, Margaret Prior
(1882-1961). John was a postal worker and the family lived in the
areas of St Leonards, Redfern, Bankstown and Marrickville. John was
another son of Daniel Swinfield, born in England in 1842.
I now have knowledge of 15 grandchildren of John and Margaret, of
whom 9 were born as Swinfields. This is just the new information
which I had been hoping for!Indeed it has allowed me to link Penny
Swinfield, who joined the group in May, back to John and Frances
Swinfield of Wolvey, who married in 1755. What a result!
There must be others who have that sort of information which I would
love to have from YOU.
Sounds like a great addition to your tree - wonderful when you make connections like that isn't it?
