Could you please look if there are any Cowles in the probate records. Mine seem to have lived at Westerleigh, Frampton Cotterell, Coal Pit Heath and I think originally from Siston in the 1700's. As I am in Sheffield it is difficult for me to access the Glos. records that I need, if they are not on the internet.
thanks Carose
