Mister
Alan J. Swindle
My name is John Edwin Kennedy from Paraguay - South America
Sarah Jane Swindle, born in 1881, was my G G MOTHER who married
James Craig Kennedy and came to Paraguay at end of 1800
I hope I am right, I just want to add some information to your genealogy tree.
Thanks
John Kennedy
I apologize for my poor english
John,
Thank you for contacting me – I am always glad to gather more information, especially about those Swindles who emigrated. Was James part of the 'New Australia' settlement?
Sarah appears to have been the second wife of James Craig Kennedy who was born in 1855 in Birkenhead, Cheshire (Liverpool).
I have updated my website with the new information. Would you like me to include your e-mail address in case any closer relative finding the page would like to get in contact directly with you?
Hi Alan
It's nice to be in contact with you.
You have very good informacion. The first wife of James Craig was Annie
Butterwith, and they had 3 boys, Ronald, Malcolm and Kenneth.
Then, when Annie died, James got married to Sarah Jane and came together to
Paraguay.
Here they had 7 children:
James Craig (jr)
John Young (my grandfather)
Alan,
Iona Hally,
Alexander (who died when he was a baby)
Douglas and
Nigel (who is still alive, but very sick now)
James Craig Kennedy died in 1936 and Sarah Jane died in 1949, both in Colonia Nueva Australia (Paraguay).
You also have the reason when you said that James Craig was part of the Australian settlement
Of course you can add my e-mail address at your website. I just want to ask you a favor, please write my complete name, because there are too many others "John Kennedy" arround the world.
I will send a photo of a family meeting that we had last month. It is in order that you see that we are too many descendants of James Craig and of Sarah Jane and also of Annie Butterwith here in Paraguay.
If you need more information about of James Craig Kennedy, I will make him come.
Best regards!!!
John Edwin Kennedy
