William Swann Brittain born Sheffield 12th March 1810 son of Samuel Brittain and Ann Swann. William Swann Brittain had 16 children. Information from Ancestry. 

Not sure how all these Brittain families listed fit in but they either seem to be butchers (there are others in the directories) or in the steel industry.
