Many thanks to both Ann and Chris.

Again, a lot of that I have (including the wills - interestingly the will of Swinton Jnr in the Nat archives may have been a forgery) but some very useful snippets I didn't.

Thanks. It doesn't look as though Lilly's been active for a while, but I'll give that a go.

Is Jersey Lily still around and doing look ups? Put a message on her thread

You could click on her name to let her know there is a message on her thread, if no reply

Yes, that's the man. Not to be confused with his son, Anthony Daffy Swinton Jnr who died in India in 1814.

I've tried tracking down CI groups without success so far, but it's something I continue to chase. I've also contacted Familysearch (thanks for the suggestion).

Try an internet search for CI historical groups? They may be able to point you in the direction of newspaper archives.
"The group consists of Jersey and Guernsey, two or three smaller islands - Alderney, Sark and Herm"

Is this his baptism? Just so we can gage his approx. age
