 Hi Jill2011

Re William and Nicholas,

Thanks for that info, that all seems to make a great deal of sense. I am pretty sure they are related, as there are too many occasions when the two branches pop up together for it to be coincidence. I think it might be time for a trip to the Brixham history centre!

Hope that helps

Hi

Mowsehouse, hope the following is useful Re Elizabeth Nowell (Rowse)

The 1861 Census shows her living with Nicholas and her family in St Julians St Tenby

The 1871 Census shows her living with her now married daughter Mary Davies (b 1884) in St Julians St Tenby. The Census records Elizabeth as a widow by this time.

The 1881 Census records her living with daughter Mary at 73 Great Thornton Street Hull

There is a death for an Elizabeth Nowell in Hull in the third Quarter of 1881 (Vol 9d Pg 163) aged 69.

I can find only one Elizabeth Nowell in the 1891 C who was born in Lewisham/London (There are a few other Newall/ Newell but none seem to work).

I'm pretty sure this is the person you are looking for.

Hi,

Thanks for some very useful information jil2011, jigsawpussler and mousehowse.


Jill 2011 - Some further info on the Devon Parish Records, as mowsehouse says some records from 1600s to 1750s can be found on the Brixham Heritage Museum Site. Records from 1813 were transcribed by members of the Devon Family History group and were, I think, available on the BHM website, but can now be found on FindMyPast. As far as I am aware the pre 1813 records have not been transcribed (They are much more difficult to read than the post 1813 ones). I got the Bapt record for John William 1808 from microfiche at Brixham Museum - so I don't have a copy I'm afraid.

Hi,

Just picked up on this thread about the Nowell family from Brixham/Ramsgate, which I have been researching for the last couple of years.

Hope this is useful ;

According to the Devon Parish records John William Nowell was born in Brixham and baptised at St Mary's on 2nd Oct 1808. His parents were William and Catherine. They were married in 1802. William was a Mariner and Catherine's maiden name was May.

John William Nowell married Charlotte Thompson in Dover on 29th Nov 1830.

William and Catherine appear to have had at least four other children;

Nicholas (Bpt 9/12/1810)
Henry (Bpt 17/10/1813
Catherine (Bpt 17/8/1815
George Henry (Bpt 4/10/1818)

Nicholas went onto mary Elizabeth Rowse (B 1812) on 30th Apr 1832.

Another Nicholas (Bapt 16 July) 1815 (son of Nicholas Nowell and Mary (nee Dust)) appears to mary Selina Rowse in June 1839. As far as I can see it this Nicholas that has a son Nicholas who then ends up in Ramsgate.

Would be very interested if anyone has any info on possible links between the William & Catherine (m 1802) and Nicholas &  Mary (M 1814).
