Hello Barbara,
I am not sure where my SWAIN family started but I have been able to trace them from 1766 in Liverpool. My particular branch Walter SWAIN moved to Wallasey about 1860. His son Henry was one of the councillers who started the Guinea Gap Swimming pool. I went to see it and the old homes last year and it is still well used.
Other branches  of the family went to various parts of Cheshire, Lancs and Middlesex.
Please let me know if we do have rellies in common.     If you send me a private email we could exchange private addresses and I can send you more of my tree.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
I have found a Joseph Edward SWAIN dob 1908 Chester but then I have a problem William Henry SWAIN - I have two; one in Stockport, Cheshire Mar 1876 and another in Holborn Jun 1889. The first one would be 32 when his son was born the other 19. I do think you will have to buy Joseph Edward's birth cert to find out who his mother was and then perhaps we can find a marriage which would give a clue to which, if either, W H we are talking about.
Sorry I haven't been a bit more help - yet! never give up!
