Harry Percival SWAN b1879 d1970
« on: Tuesday 02 December 14 21:32 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for information about "Harry Percival SWAN" b1879, d1970, I know he was a well known figure in the town of Buncrana, where he bequeathed "Swan Park" and his entire collection to the people of Buncrana. 

I have searched the 1901 and 1911 Census and can not find him.  Does anyone know anything about him?

Try searching for Henry Percival SWAN in 1911 (Buncrana) and Henry P SWAN in 1901 (Buncranna).

Hi,
If you can find a copy of 'An Historical, Environmental and Cultural Atlas of Donegal' (2013) it has a chapter dedicated to Harry Percival Swan.
