Cumberland / Re: Graham's of Cumberland
« on: Friday 12 September 08 16:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi...

I've just discovered that my GGGG Grandmother was Elizabeth GRAHAM born abt. 1766 in Nook, Nichol Forest, Cumberland and she married John FORSTER (or FORRESTER) on 25 Jul 1785 in Nichol Forest.  Her father was William GRAHAM born abt 1721.  He married an Elizabeth Scott.

If anyone has these people in their tree I'd love to hear from you.

BTW the updated Dodgson Manuscript found on http://www.geocities.com/MadisonAvenue/3333/routledge.html mentions many GRAHAMs from Cumberland.

Cheers,
Diane

Thanks Andrea...

I first came across a mention of this webpage - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rutledge/DodgsonManuscript.htm - on a Message Board.  There was mention of a John COWEN and Elizabeth FORSTER marriage (in Cumberland) and details of their emigrating to Canada.  The 'Ceeders' mentioned on the website is actually 'Les Cedres' which I knew is where my ancestors lived.  The website also mentions a Joseph FORSTER (Elizabeth's brother) who emigrated and died in Quebec.  I was able to find his death record and one of the witnesses was Elizabeth COWEN!  So I'm feeling comfortble now that I am on the right track.

Cheers, Diane

I believe they may have come to Canada in the early 1800s and the only child I'm aware of is my GG Grandmother Agnes Forster COWAN, born 4 Mar 1826 in Les Cdres, Quebec, who married Thomas BICKERDIKE in 1842.  Unfortunately I have no other information on John COWAN and Elizabeth FORSTER.

Cumberland / FORSTERs and COWEN/COWANs
« on: Friday 05 September 08 16:33 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am searching for any information on an Elizabeth FORSTER (perhaps FORRESTER) and John COWEN (or COWAN) who were married 30 Mar 1811 in Nichol Forest, Cumberland.  I believe they are my GGG Grandparents who emigrated to Les Cedres, Quebec, Canada (near Montreal).

I'd love to hear from anyone researching these names and any suggestions (webpages, archives, etc.) on how I may continue my research would be most appreciated.

Many thanks!
Diane
