Alfred William Swing died 1974 and Daisy Violet Swing died 1994

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
OUR MOTHER
DAISY VIOLET SWING
WHO DIED ON 24 JULY 1994 
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
OUR FATHER
ALFRED WILLIAM SWING
WHO DIED
ON 8 FEBRUARY 1974

*
 The parents of Percy, Osman, Leslie,
Herman and Pansy. I do not know whether there
were more members. Several months
ago a friend living in Devlali, Maharashtra asked me if I knew
 the Late Osman Swing, buried in the cemetery there, 
who was from Lucknow. The name was familiar but I was not
sure. There were families by that name but I couldn't recall
 to which family he belonged. 
After posting pics of these two graves he again asked me 
whether Osman was related to them. I had to find out also to 
satisfy my curiosity. I then found Herman Swing
on facebook!
Retired from the Indian Army and living in
Hyderabad, Herman gave me some information
about his family, details that any acquaintance or
neighbour could safely divulge to a casual friend.
People normally do not like talking to a stranger
about family and Herman was no different.

Herman grew up at Helms building so to
most people they were the Helms Building Swings
by way of identification. Much has changed in 
Lucknow over the last two or three decades so has
Valmiki Marg, formerly Rutledge Road, where
 Helms building is situated.
While there still are some families living on this road
a greater portion has been taken over by shops dealing
in automobile parts.
During those years there were two other Swing families, one at 
Maqbara, Hazratganj and the other in Lalbagh near the 
Cupid Bakery. The gateway to the Hashman compound
separated the bakery from a billiard saloon that carried the
Swing name. This family sold out and went to Joelikote,
Nainital sometime in the 1980's. The Hashman residence
has been demolished so has the Swings house. Cupid
Bakery is still going strong.
Herman said that all three families were related the others being 
his father, Alfred's two brothers.

THOMAS WILLIAM CLEMENTS
Died cir 1955
(Blogger: Was Thomas the
maternal grandfather of Peter and
Michael W who lived at No 18 Lawrence Terrace?
Peter and Michael, students of La Martiniere College,
 Lucknow, migrated  to the UK with their mother when
 I was quite small. What I do remember is Mrs W
gifting each child from LT a storybook of their
choice from from her sons' collection placed neatly
on a table!

Sept 5. 2015: After writing this post I contacted Ian Carter
who was the immediate neighbour of Mr Clements
who told me that the Whiting boys studied at 
Sherwood College, Nainital.)
