1848.  Licence No 211, for A Double Barrell Shotgun and 20 Rounds of Ammunition issued under An Act For the Better Prevention of Crime and Outrages in Certain Parts of Ireland, to Have Arms in a Dwelling House of James Vickery, Inchingerig, Caheragh West Cork.

A broadly similar license is currently in use in Vancouver, Canada,  according to a member of the extended family.

This seems different to the relatively common gane certificate which issued throughout the 19th century from the Customs Office in Bandon.

The book details the extraordinary work done by Mrs. Swanton.  Records from various sources old newspaper extracts and apart from these Swantons it throws light on other families in West Cork.

 

 

….

 

From Ginni Swanton.  This book was written by Louise May Swanton, Chicago in 1989. She married into the Swanton family and spent an incredible amount of time and energy researching he family.

At the conclusion of the Irish section Mrs.Swanton mentions the lack of Catholic records as she was not then able to access the relevant records.  Now through irishgenealogy these are the most accessible records in some cases for Cork from the late 18th century and free, online.  Apart from Catholic Swantons there are reference  to Protestant Swantons who stood in as sponsors or witnesses.   The Civil records are now available online from the same site.

 

 

 

 

Swanton Births 1826-1948, Ballydehob, Parish of Schull, West Cork

 

For Cork Catholic Swantons and Swantons who were sponsors or witnesses in Catholic ceremonies irishgenealogy.ie has a full free online listing.  You can also search the civil records free from 1865 for Catholics or 1845 for Protestants.
