I am trying to trace Darthula Eliza Rowe born in Newfoundland in approx 1812/13.

She married Charles Bullen Davis in Bristol, England in 1834. CBD was a master mariner I wondered in they fell in love in their passage to England!

I have the Davis family traced back to 1680's and would love to add some more information/background to Darthula.

The only info I have is from her census records and death cert all of which state St John's Newfoundland.

Anybody got any suggestions how to proceed?

I have listed what I know on the Rowe in Newfoundland website - but have made no connections.
I have made contact with some local researchers in NF - who would like further details before they begin.
Anybody know of passenger lists in 1833/4 from NF to Bristol.
Anybody come across any other Rowe's in Bristol born in Newfoundland?

Living in hope

Charles Bullen Davis has a Barque called Florence which travelled to NewFoundland. I can;t help with the Newfoundland Side of things. But I have a line directly to myself from him. He had several ships/barques one travelled from Scotland to London with lamp oil. Also from Wyke Regis to Madeira. If you have any info on him I would be very interested, it may give us a clue as to background. Did Darthulah have any brothers or sisters?
