James Hawkins OWEN 1798-1827

[frankray]

Looking for burial record of James Hawkins OWEN died Demerara 18 April 1827 of yellow fever  He may be with his parents on Island of Bartholomew: there is a mention there on record he died Demerara - so not sure; but feel highly unlikely he was shipped across the waters for burial.  He was the son of Richard b1754 and Catherine both buried Bartholomew.  Many thanks for your time.   Frank.

As it says Catherine lived in Lancaster I wonder if this is her death,

Catherine OWEN    Dec 1838    Lancaster    21  291

and burial,

Catharine OWEN
Abode Lancr
Age: 78
Buried:  29 Nov 1838
Burial Parish: Lancaster, St Mary
Buried by: J N Green Armitage, Curate

Daisy,
Thank you for the net links.  Very useful and engaging. The following was written by his father    Richard Owen b1754- on the question of his son James Hawkins Owen.


'April 22, 1827. — My eldest boy, James
Hawkins Owen, died at Demerara of yellow
fever, and was buried there.'

Buried on Demerara is new to me - memorial/record suggest James is with his parents on Isle of Bartholomew 

James did not marry.  The Catherine death/burial was his mother and reportedly died 24 Nov 1838 West Indies.  You have raised a Catherine Owen death/burial Dec Qtr. 1838 Lancaster  21/291 exactly the same period and year - only location being in question.  This search is far from over and I am indebted to the kindness of those who give of their time to help.    Frank.
