Could some kind soul help me with a lookup for the following: Victorian deaths, surname SWAN, father's name James (or possibly David), up to the year 1869, and place of death Sorrento, Nepean, Point Nepean, Portsea, etc (in fact, any location on the peninsula). The father, in an article dated 9 Jan 1869, mentioned the deaths of two children in the area. Any deaths for SWAN, as per above but with a different father's first name (or blank) in the same localities, would also be of interest. Hi Martin, Nothing obvious jumped out ( also checked SWANN) Only one SWAN death in 1869 and that was of a lady Also checked the VIC inquests and Ancestrys AUS deaths and nothing found Bye -- MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast
