Is anyone related to this family? I am researching John Gower the eldest of Elizabeth and John Gower's children.

Hello
Another member called Heddwch was looking for someone called John Gower Jones b. 21 Jan 1864 who was awarded a BA in Oxford on 13 Oct 1888.
Could be a relative?

Hello
Do you mean John Gower born 1831 Pembrey who eventually became vicar of Trefriw, Denbighshire? I have found a couple of interesting newspaper articles on him, including one in which he was taken to court for digging up the graves of his father and brother from Jerusalem Chapel, Pembrey.
17 June 1865, Cambria Daily Leader
(He was a vicar in Glamorgan at the time)
They are reburied at family grave in St. John’s, (Capel Ifan), Pontyberem.
