Wow!!!! Many thanks for this.  I'm always blown away by how people are so generous with their time.  This is plenty.  The only thing that throws me is his place of birth as England, sources led me to believe he was born in Ireland..More digging I think,

Thanks again
Annie

Annie I found a John SWANSON on the 1851 Census born Portsmouth, Hampshire of the right age and occupation upholsterer and then I found this advertisement for a John SWANSON who has got himself into a spot of financial trouble.  I haven't found where he was declared insolvent.

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5842056
IN the ESTATE of JOHN SWANSON, of Fitzroy, Upholsterer -A second DIVIDEND of Is. Od per
£ will be PAYABLE at our office, 16 Elizabeth-street, Melbourne, on and after November 7, 1872 Lyell and Gowan. Trustees.

I've just found a couple of online trees on a subscription only website which also give John's place of birth as Portsmouth, Hampshire.  Perhaps a researcher has sighted some certificates.

Cheers and 'night...
