Geschiedenis
John Swan (born circa 1834, Westminster) lived at The Peacock Public House, 41 Minories, City of London. He was editor of 'Our Magazine' which was produced for 'private circulation' on the 1st and 15th of each month during 1856.
The first part issued on 1 March 1856 states that 'Our Magazine' replaced 'a small weekly periodical, which we named the "Peacockian Times", which was entirely devoted to fun, and carried on solely by ourselves; this has given rise to the idea of bringing out a magazine of sufficient size for all our kind friends to contribute to'.
John Swan's father William Swan (born circa 1807, Shoreditch) was the publican at The Peacock by 1839 until 1856-1857 when William North took over. On the 1851 Census William Swan is shown as married to Emily Jane (born circa 1810, Southwark) with their sons John and Edward Adam Swan (born circa 1849-1850) and three servants.
