Cowe family, Eyemouth

Thanks Beckey.

I wonder where the ellusive Helen was living  She would be around 27 in 1851, I'm assuming she would be married to my gr gr gr grandfather Edward Cromwell (another person I can't find in the 1851 census).

Cheers,
Kenny

I am hoping to go into Edinburgh sometime in the next few months to have a day [and the rest!] trying to sort out the Cowes. The family probably originated from the Cockburnspath family but I just seem to be getting myself in knots at the moment.

Beckey, sorry, I am getting lost in this post and didn't see your reply! In answer to your information of 11 July - yes, that is Isabella's sister living at St Abbs. I haven't gone into her details so can't give any update re. Robert but may piece it altogether soon!

Rae, any light you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated, obviously if I come up with anything in the meantime I will let you know.

Refering to William Cowe above my guess was wrong, he was 7 in 1841.
In "Black Friday" by Peter Aitchison there is a reference to a William Cowe son of the late James Cowe, fisherman, died  aged 13 23/11/1849 in cholera epidemic.

1861 Eyemouth, New Row - 1 room.

Hi Terry,

Thanks, received your PM.  I am new to Rootschat and unable to reply to personal messages.  (I read somewhere you need to have posted at least 5 posts to access this functionality..?)

I am very eager to share info and will PM as soon as I can.   My lineage:  John/Elizabeth Watson, David/Mary Delagty, David/Alice Goodall.  They had a son Aleaxander who is my great grandfather.   He was born in Duns in 1880.  Not sure when exactly he came to SA but he was enlisted in the Boer War here in 1901. 

Regards
Sharon
