English birth/death - Sybil Joan Burnett
« on: Monday 03 November 14 05:50 GMT (UK) »
Gday all,

I am seeking some helping tracking down the birth and death dates for a
Sybil Joan Burnett.

She is the daughter of Air Chief Marshal Sir Charles Burnett:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Burnett_(RAF_officer)

I have her living in Cheshire in 1923, and moving to Australia with her father in about 1941. She returned to England married to a Marcus Swann a few years later.

She was living at Heather Bank, Cambus May, Aberdeenshire, Scotland in 2003 according to the peerage online :

Any help appreciated :)

Quentin D.J.

Passenger lists show she was born circa 1914 and sometimes used the middle name "Jean" rather than Joan.

has one hit (you would need to pay to see details) for Sybil Jean Burnett, which seems to be in 1983 (death).

This would agree with this:

The seat on the right reminds visitors of the influence that Sybil, Jean, Swann had on the local community of Royal Deeside. Sybil Swann lived at the Cambus O'May between, 1948 and 1983.

If you like, I can move this to the Scottish boards.
