For Sale / Wanted / Events / Fighting the Bug - Disease, Diet and Education in Early Knighstwood, Glasgow
« on: Friday 04 September 09 10:09 BST (UK)  »
Perhaps some of you may be interested in this book, written by my father:

http://www.diadembooks.com/cromwell.htm




The first part of this book deals with disease, health, and diet mainly in Knightswood prior to, during, and immediately following World War II. The second part is concerned mainly with the education of primary school children in the same area and during the same period, although there are several ventures beyond Knightswood and into Glasgow generally.

I've just seen on this website:

www.dumgal.gov.uk/historicalindexes/census.aspx

That "Ellen Cromwell" is a nurse in the household of Janet Bennet, Queensbury Street, Dumfries.

So we have:

Jannet Bennet - Head of household, widow, aged 47, born Ireland
Michael Bennet - Son of Jannet, roper apprentice, aged 13, born Ireland
David Bowes - Son of Jannet , aged 11, born Edinburgh
James Bowes, Head of household , married, Traveller, aged 45, born Ireland
Ellen Cromwell, nurse in household, married, washerwoman, aged 26, born in Paisley
Briddy McHarn, lodger, servant, aged 30, born Ireland
James McHarn, lodger, aged 1 month, born Dumfries
Patrick McHarn, lodger, aged 4, born in Ireland

I'm feeling that maybe I shouldn't be part of the Cowe discussion anymore, but it's only because it clearly states Edward Cromwell, a hatter in Paisley, as Helen Cowe's father in her death record of 12th October 1858.

Yours confused,
Kenny

That's a very interesting theory April regarding the information you have from the 1851 census. I see that on ancestry.co.uk the name has been transcribed as Ellen Cromwell but on SP it has been transcribed as Eliza. I've looked at the record on SP, the quality is not very good and I can't quite make out the detail. Ellen (or Eliza) Cromwell's condition is married so would Cromwell not be her married name? I can't make out Ellen's relationship to the head of the household, niece, nurse?? It also looks to me that the head of the family is James Bowes, there's a son David Bowes, another two sons, James and Patrick and a lodger that I can't make out.

All very fascinating!

Thanks for the reply April, but just to add to the confusion I think the father listed on her death record is either her father-in-law or her son, both were hatters (or tailors).

To add even more confusion, Helen Cowe's son, Edward David Cromwell, on his marriage record it details "Helen Bowes" as his mother and David Cromwell as his father. It's just strange that on Helen's death record Edward Cromwell pops up as father. There's a miss-spelling somewhere, either Bowes or Cowe. This is my brick wall by the way!

Quote from: April on Friday 24 October 08 12:25 BST (UK)
To clear up any confusion above:

Helen Cowe the daughter of Euphemia Collin and James Cowe died 7 Jan 1861 caused by rupture of the womb during child labour.
Helen and John Scott married at Lamberton Toll in 1844 and they are in Eyemouth in 1851 with 8 month old William. Two children (a boy and a girl) had died before that. They went on to have James, John, Joseph and George.
After Helen's death John married Maria Garwood 18 Dec 1861.

The Helen Cowe who died in 27 Oct 1858 in Eyemouth was the daughter of Edward Cromwell and Cowe was her married name

April

Hi April, do you have documentary evidence that the Helen Cowe who died in 1858 was the daughter of Edward Cromwell (Crumwell) and that Cowe is her married name?

Thanks,
Kenny

The Edward Cromwells above could also have been Edward David Cromwell or just David Cromwell or even Crumwell.

Are there any online resources listing people who moved to Scotland, ship lists etc? It's a long shot I know  :-\

Helen Cowe, daughter of James and Euphemia, died on the 12th October 1858 in Eyemouth. I have a copy of her death record.

Cheers,
Kenny
