Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Mary Meaney was born Abt 1833, Ferryland, Newfoundland; died 11 Jun 1885, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 13 Jun 1885, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada.

    Notes:

    Birth:
    Family lore relates that Mary Meaney was from Ferryland. However, little is known of Mary, so we are left to speculate as to who her father may have been. Although there is no known family lore of direct kinship, there is a strong possibility that Mary (Meaney) Swain may have been the daughter of Thomas and Bridget? Meaney of Ferryland. John and Mary Swain had a son named Thomas, who died at sea in 1897. His brother, Peter, named his son, Thomas, after him in 1902. These were the only instances that Swain males were given that forename until late in the 20th century. (Kevin Reddigan)

    Died:
    Births, Deaths, Marriages in Newfoundland Newspapers (1825-1890). Swain, Mary - wife of John Swain, died aged 52 years at Caplin Bay on the 11th. June 23/85M.

    Although the above newspaper obit states that Mary was 52 years old when she died in 1885, she was very likely older than 52, since she was married in 1848.

    Mary married John Swain 1 Dec 1848, Holy Trinity RC Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland. John (son of Robert Swain and Elizabeth "Betsy" Bryan) was born abt. 1825, Stone Island, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 3 Jan 1904, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 5 Jan 1904, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada.

    Other Events:

    • Census: 1880, Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts, United States

    Notes:

    Census:

    Lost at Sea website - Gloucester, Massachusetts
    I found a record for a Robert Swain, who died about the 23rd Jan 1881 when he fell from bowsprit of the Orient, [which] last sailed from Baracoa, Cuba, for Charleston, SC. His name is supposedly recorded on the Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial Cenotaph. Since no age or other details were given in the record, I couldn't verify if this was Robert Swain from Caplin Bay, Newfoundland. (per Kevin Reddigan).

    Notes:

    Died:
    Peter Swain gave his birth date as Feb 1863 in the 1921 Newfoundland Census, so if correct, it indicates that this Peter, died young.

    Notes:

    Birth:
    Thomas' Vital Statistics death record states his age was 21. However, no entry can be found of his birth in the Ferryland Baptism records which start in Oct 1870, so this age appears to be incorrect. A Thomas Swain was a godfather at baptisms as early as 1883 and 1884. There is also a Thomas Swaine, fisherman, who is listed at Caplin Bay in McAlpine's 1894-97 Directory. This would suggest that he was head of a household, which is very unlikely if he was only in his teens.

    Died:
    Thomas Swain died from diphtheria while at the seal hunt on April 2,1897. He and his cousin, Mike Sullivan of Caplin Bay, were shipmates on the ship Aurora out of St. John's, Newfoundland. Mike Sullivan died a few days later, on April 6, 1897, from diphtheria. Both are commemorated in the Newfoundland ballad "The Spring of 97" http://gestsongs.com/16/spring97.htm .
