Roxburghshire / Swanston(e)/Beck family
« on: Thursday 06 October 05 01:29 BST (UK)  »
 Hi , I'm working on my family tree.  I am looking for information on my ancestors John and Elizabeth (Beck) Swanston.  We
know very little .  They were born and married in Scotland.  their oldest children were born in Scotland before emigrating to Canada.  their oldest  child Nicholas was born May 24, 1842 in Scotland.  She is female.  We noticed on line that there are several Swanston families buried in cemeteries in The Roxboroughshire area.  They emigrated to Canada between 1850 and 1855.  Census records show a child born in 1855 as being born in Canada while a child born in 1850 was recorded as being born in Scotland.  I don't know where to go from here and was hoping for any information regarding this family or any tips on how to approach searching for a family if you don't know where they were originally from.

Selkirkshire / Swanston(e)

I have traced my ancestors to Swanston(e) from Scotland.

Some Swanston's living close to my relatives in 1850  were from Selkirk.  I have a feeling they were related although not siblings but have not been able to prove that yet.  On this  hunch that they are related I would begin searching for them also in Selkirk.  John & Elizabeth (Beck) Swanston(e) born 1810 and 1816 respectively (approximately based on 1861 census records)  If Anyone knows anything about this family
it would be greatly appreciated as I am at an impasse at this point.  Thank you
