Thread: Donald Swanson/Lillian Edith Robinson

would love some information if anyone can help as i seem to be drawing a blank on Donald's where abouts death date etc, this not the inspector donald sutherland swanson by the way

Donald married lillian in 1911 then they divorced in 1917 - my grandad horace was their child however i am unsure if donald even knew he existed due to the circumstances behind the divorce (lillian accused donald of having an affair which was denied by donald!) lillian eventually remarried douglas campbell and they immigrated to new zealand - my grandad took the campbell name when he was 21 (changed by deepole from swanson)

Donald Swanson born 1882/83 - Thurso Caithness Scotland , parents John & Isabella (nee manson) Donald's brother/sisters - Helen(nellie), john, isabella, margaret jane, mary

Lillian edith robinson born 1883 Highbury, Middlesex, England, parents Sidney & Elizabeth - sister: constance

any help or points in the right direction of where to go would be extremely appreciated to put the pieces together & get a better understanding of a family (swanson) denied....

thanks

he could have returned to scotland. otherwise there are a few to choose from on england and wales death index and he could have gone anywhere. looking closest to the london area this looks like the most likelyName:Donald SwansonDeath Registration Month/Year:1959Age at death (estimated):76Registration district:ThanetInferred County:KentVolume:5bPage:765
