52 Ancestors: Week 15: James Swan

James Swan was born about 1819 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. James lived in St Pancras, Middlesex, England in 1851 but by 1861 he was back living in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.

 I believe James had the following children:
  • William Albert Swann was born in 1841 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.
  • Alfred Swann was born in 1843 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. 
  • Eliza Swan was born in 1845/1849 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. 
  • Mary Swan was born in 1850/1852 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. 
  • Jane Swan was born about 1850/1852 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. 
  • Edward Swan was born about 1854 in London, England. 
  • Ellen Swan was born about 1856 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. 
  • Elizabeth Swan was born about 1858 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. 
  • Phoebe Swan was born about 1860 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. 
My research question is to find out if this family is related to the famous silversmith,James Josiah Swann (1837- 1922).

    Certainly not as a direct ancestor. The parents of James Josiah Swann were James Swann born circa Sept 1805 and Mary Ann Spencer born September 1808. James was also a silversmith like his son.

    I have supporting documentation on my public tree on Ancestry (Johnson/Stacey-Green). James Josiah was my gg grandfather.
