Welcome to my web site! I am John Antill the living namesake, 11th ggreat grandson of the above.
Topically, the site contains the chief designer of the TITANIC (the Managing Director of Harland & Wolff), Thomas Andrews, who perished on 15 April 1912 when the ship sank. His brother was the second Prime Minister of Northern Ireland in the Second World War and his uncle was Viscount Pirrie.
This site contains my ancestors (Antills and Bamfords), plus lines of Westons, Merrimans, Saundersons, Needhams, Trueloves, Tyackes and Swinnertons all connected at living level. I try to ensure that details of anyone living are not uploaded unless I have obtained the data from another publicly available web site.
With over 37,000 names years of work have been put into the research and documentation of these ancestors.
Searching: I suggest that you search for names connected to you using the Index of Names below. Many Swynnertons are referred to as De Swynnertons but I have indexed all as surname Swynnerton.
I hope you will benefit from the information I present here.
