Have you got William in the 1861, 1871 cornish census? or had he moved to Aus
Just thought it may help to fill gap and then work out which country marriage took place in

Great thanks so much for your help. Dee, I am new to this, could you tell me what the ref = cla refers to? Also you mention that Williams father is John? I am puzzled as to this as i understand his father is James Ladner Rowe, and James father is John. if that is correct then dose your infor still follow?
Many thanks from New Zealand

Hi Smitham,,

Ref = Cla  means the reference needed for ordering a certificate is Cla  47/300, meaning the district of Clare, Book 47, page 300. 

As to the father  being John, that is exactly what information is contained on the index record for the marriage between a William Mathew ROWE & a Jane LAWES.

The children I listed all had their parents given as William ROWE and Jane LAWES.   



There is one marriage between a Thomas Mathew ROWE, aged 22 and single,  and an Elizabeth Jane MARTIN aged 25 and single,  with the fathers given as James Ladner ROWE and  William MARTIN. This took place in the Wesleyan Church, Pirie St, Adelaide on 11th April 1878.
