Nicholas Svombo and Anne Cleopatra Svombo

My great grandfather, Nicholas Svombo was born in about 1828 on the Greek Island of Hydra. In 1854 in Queenstown (now called Cobh), County Cork he married a local girl Ellen Barry. Their first child was born in Queenstown the following year. They moved to Cardiff in 1855/6 where they had a further nine children. My paternal grandmother was their ninth child.
I would like to know who Nicholas’ ancestors were, it has been suggested that his father’s first name might have been Lazarus as that was the name given to Nicholas’ eldest child.
Nicholas died in Cardiff in 1876, his youngest child Anne Cleopatra who was then three years old was sent to live with relatives in Greece, I wonder why? It has been said that years later two of her elder brothers on a visit to Greece did see her. What happened to Anne Cleopatra?
