If you do a search on your family name it will throw up a number of matches are these any of yours?

to mowsehowse thank you for your tip on locating early parish records for Brixham (bef 1765)

[Jill2011]

I think I may have found William b abt 1780 but without checking the original records I can not be sure unless any of you have found this information.

I have a William Howell (possible misspelt) bapt 20/5/1779 Brixham parents John Howell and Mary.

Any ideas?

To Bilge - many thanks for the link, at the moment I dont think they are related to my side but early days yet.

Hi,

Thanks for some very useful information jil2011, jigsawpussler and mousehowse.


Jill 2011 - Some further info on the Devon Parish Records, as mowsehouse says some records from 1600s to 1750s can be found on the Brixham Heritage Museum Site. Records from 1813 were transcribed by members of the Devon Family History group and were, I think, available on the BHM website, but can now be found on FindMyPast. As far as I am aware the pre 1813 records have not been transcribed (They are much more difficult to read than the post 1813 ones). I got the Bapt record for John William 1808 from microfiche at Brixham Museum - so I don't have a copy I'm afraid.

As my particular interest is in the Rowse connection, I am trying to tie up the two Nicholas Nowells who married two Rowse sisters.

I sent for a copy of the death registration in 1860 of Elizabeth Nowell, however it turns out that this lady was the wife of John Wotton Nowell. 
 
If anyone has a particular interest in this information please pm me.

Which leaves me still trying to locate the death of Elizabeth (Rowse) Nowell bap. 1811.

Can anyone help?

Hi

Mowsehouse, hope the following is useful Re Elizabeth Nowell (Rowse)

The 1861 Census shows her living with Nicholas and her family in St Julians St Tenby

The 1871 Census shows her living with her now married daughter Mary Davies (b 1884) in St Julians St Tenby. The Census records Elizabeth as a widow by this time.

The 1881 Census records her living with daughter Mary at 73 Great Thornton Street Hull

There is a death for an Elizabeth Nowell in Hull in the third Quarter of 1881 (Vol 9d Pg 163) aged 69.

I can find only one Elizabeth Nowell in the 1891 C who was born in Lewisham/London (There are a few other Newall/ Newell but none seem to work).

I'm pretty sure this is the person you are looking for.

Thankyou Pilkdown -
That all sounds rather marvellous, but, from which site are you getting these readings ?
I can not get anything at all off findmypast or familysearch!!!
