Plodding away!
Robert Swan married Margaret Johnson.
From their marriage cert I've found out that Robert's father was John Swan, a hatter.
From the 1851 and 1861 census I've found Robert's mother is Jane Swan who was a 'butcher's widow'.
So John was a hatter who later became a butcher? Jane Swan could actually be Margaret?
And in 1851 William & Eleanor Swan lived in the same street as widowed Jane.
Having looked at William & Eleanor, they did in fact have a son called John. But whether it's my John or not, I've no idea yet.
Infuriating
