Hello Pamela
Though I can't help, as far as I know, with your particular Switzers, I am
searching for my own branch of them here in UK! All I have to go on so far
is my 6 x g.grandmother, Mary Switzer! But I do have an interest in
Hampshire, and Winchester and Southampton in particular, so if I can help
you I will.
It wasn't unknown for seafarers to lead a 'double life' (and not just
seafarers, either!) and my own gg.grandfather, born in Winchester, is
supected of having done the same - but with a second family in Australia.
My Mary Switzer was born c1677 - an assumption only, as that is when her
husband was born. She married Thomas Brigginshaw of Aston Clinton,
Buckinghamshire, on 4 February 1702/03. Knowing how my family often ended up
in places many miles from where they started, lack of transport back then
notwithstanding, I never cease to be amazed. But you are the first person
I've come across looking for Switzers in England. Please just ask if I can
help you with any Hampshire requests, and I'll do my best.
Best wishes
Margaret
