Roger-
Augusta Eliza Lucinda Sweny would have been my great-grand aunt.Her brother Herbert Sidney was my great-grandfather and thus,my mother is a "Sweny".I guess all roads lead to 1 Lincoln Place. Mark Sweny is listed as a medical doctor in 1838.Apparently, he was an apothecary first and then became a doctor...which according to the archivist at the medical college in Dublin was not unusual in those days.
I spent some time in Dublin in the beginning of the summer researching the Sweny's and was able to trace the family back to the marriage of Eugene Sweny and Lydia Brownrigg in 1794.
Let me know if you have any information.
