Hi there, Caroline Peat (Nee Swaby) was my great grandmother
My grandad Thomas Frederick Peat had told me when i was younger that his mother Caroline was born in the East Indies but not exactly where, and when you are young you
dont think to ask, as far as i know his grandparents came
England and i know from infomation i have found that
Carolines father was a platelayer for the railways, so must presume that his work took him to the East Indies and that is why Caroline was born there, as the rest of the children were born in England. Carolines mother Caroline (nee Styles)
then married Johnson and had more children in England.
How are you related to the Swaby/Peat,s
I do have a Photograph of Caroline Peat i would be able to scan for you if you wish.
Regards
Jan
