Has anyone heard of a plumbing and sanitary engineering business being run by the Swinton family in Nottingham, some time in the early 1800s? Apparently, two brothers with the surname Swinton were apprenticed to their uncle, who owned this business. They were not happy there, and ran away to London. They changed their surname to Lee, the surname of a maiden aunt of theirs. Later, the name Swinton was introduced as a middle name, and I am Raymond Swinton Lee. Unfortunately, this means my family history research is stuck at 1842, so I would be extremely pleased to hear from anyone who can help me to clear this blockage. Ray Lee |
