Family History Beginners Board / Cowen/Farrell
« on: Friday 22 July 11 09:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Looking for info on Rose Ann Farrell born 19/7/1874. Have heard she was possibly born on the ship but am unsure. She is the daughter of John farrell and Bridget jane O'Reily (B1849 - 25/5/1915)
Rose married Owen Cullen Cowen in NZ on 14/9/1892.
Any further info on any of these names would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Shelley

Thanks Allan,

According to my records they must have got married then jumped straight on the boat. (They were married in May and arrived in Sept).
But I have no idea where she was from. I don't think birth certificates show anything but the parents name and even then it doesn't show a maiden name.
Do you know if this is correct?
If there is a chance of the birth cert showing anything I may consider ordering one.
Thanks, Shelley

Hi, Wondering if anyone has any info on The Townsend/McDowell line.
Alexander Townsend Born about 1846 and died 1918.
He married Margaret McDowell I think in 1870 which is the same year they came to New Zealand.
Thanks
