I don’t think that’s her in that article but thanks anyway.

I looked at that birth record for Ethel and I think that could be a possibility. Once o get John (jack) birth certificate hopefully I will know more.

I’m not sure if 1 of them was married and that’s why they couldn’t marry or if it was simply because Ethel is suppose to be aboriginal.



I wonder if this is the birth of Ethel M SWAN -

NSW BDM birth
10056/1880 SWAN Ethel May parents John /Eliza        @ Bathurst



Erin,
Do you mean you think the obituary I have posted is not for the Eliza ( Jane ) SWAN,-wife of John , the woman whom wivenhoe has highlighted as a possible mother for one Ethel May SWAN?

Can you say why?

Sorry I was out and about yesterday and was trying to follow along on my phone. I thought you meant that was Ethel in the article, It could be her mother if that is her in the birth record.

Well my partner is aboriginal and his grandmother who is still alive has told him him that her husband told her it came from his grandmother.

I have now received John (Jack's) birth certificate and yes it does name Ethel May Swan as his mother, his father's details are unlisted.
