I am researching the SWAN family of Skerries, County Dublin, Ireland. Patrick Swan married Margaret Grant from Quay Street, Skerries. They had the following children:
Anne who married Henry Duff in 1862, had the following children: Joseph born in 1862; Mary Jane born in 1865; Patrick born in 1867; and William born in 1874
Thomas who married Celia Halligan in 1875 and had the following children: Patrick Joseph born 1875; Mary Jane born 1879; Celia Margaret born 1881 and Margaret born 1883, married Thomas Thompson in 1909 and moved to the US.
James married Mary Carrick in 1880
Mary married George Ferguson in 1883, he was lost at sea in 1888, and then she remarried Francis Flynn in 1891
John born in 1855
Patrick born in 1858
Michael born in 1862

Any information on this family would be so greatly appreciated! Please contact JOYCDP@aol.com if you might be able to help.
