George Swinson

Thanks Keyboard for the information. Does the Will on Anc.... show the beneficiaries as these might be the direct descendents? I could then try and trace the family line to find living relatives?
Thanks again

Ancestry only give the Probate Index - that shows to whom Probate was granted ie the Executors. They may or may not beneficiaries, they may or may not be related, they may just be a solicitor.

To see the actual Will, you need to purchase a copy. This can be done from https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

You will then see how the Estate was to be distributed, and who all the beneficiaries were to be.

Hi all,
I'm still in the process of sorting this lot out but a quick summary.
Joseph Swinson = Ann Newton 1753, Lichfield Staffs > George Swinson bapt. Oct 1764 Lichfield.
George Swinson = Mary Webb 178, Stafford(??) > 1789 George Newton Swinson bapt June 1789
George Newton Swinson =  Mary Anne Morgan May 1830 Marlylebone, Middlesex
> Harriet 1832
>George Newton Swinson 1833 = Lucy Dorothy Edwards 853 West Ham, Essex
>Henry 1837
>Mary 1839
>Thomas 1840
>Samuel 1841

http://www.swslhd.nsw.gov.au/bowral125/pdf/Combined.pdf gives history of the hospital in Australia and indicates that Ann Newton is linked to Sir Isaac Newton - but I haven't got that far yet.

Hi there Ive just signed up to Roots Webb and my family tree contains the Swinsons - 3 generations of surgeons and a letter in the late 1800s which says there is a distant connection to Sir I newton hence the name is used down the generations.i am related to Mary Webb (b 1765) wife of George Swinsons (b1763)
