Bessie Spong nee COWDRAY
« on: Thursday 03 November 05 15:36 GMT (UK) »
 Am searching for all Cowdray family decendents.Bessie married Frederick Spong 1896
Epsom, Surrey and was living Bicester 1901.Her mother Henrietta left her Father James taking the youngest Hettie to Uxbridge then onto Burnham, Bucks.This left my Gran to bring up the youngest children here in Singleton. Gran (Annie)was the only family member to stay here possibly in the hope of reuniting the family.Bessie in census at ancestry is given as being born Eastbourne but she was born Easebourne/Midhurst Sussex.
ALICE COWDRAY1872 COCKING
ALBERT  1874 EASEBOURNE/MIDHURST
BESSIE  1876 EASEBOURNE/MIDHURST
JESSIE MINNIE 1879 SINGLETON
ANNIE 1880 SINGLETON
ARTHUR 1881 SINGLETON
FLORENCE/FLORA KATE 1884 SINGLETON
WALTER 1886 (AM IN CONTACT WITH FAMILY)
ADA 1888 SINGLETON
BERTHA 1889 SINGLETON
HETTIE NELLIE 1891 SINGLETON (AM IN CONTACT WITH FAMILY)

We have been sharing all family info photos,certificates etc.Hettie never knew who her real father was but the family have visited the house on the hill where she was born, so has Walters family.If you are decended from any of the above I would love to hear from you.

All Best Wishes

Hello!

I've come across many SPONG and COWDRAY is Sunninghill, Surrey, as well as Egham, Surrey, parish register and bishop's transcript LDS library films.

I'll check my info and be in touch with you about which films might contain information for you. 

Good luck!

 Thank you for replying and I look forward to hearing from you. I know Jessie married a Kirtland Barber in Hackney around the same time as Bessie married. I remember as a child visiting a lady whom I believe was Flora Kate (Florence). She had a parrot, I thought it might have been in Portsmouth, Hampshire. I know my family contact of Hettie has had contact with Bertha's family but she was not forthcoming in helping me. I would like to one day have contact with all my grandmothers family. I would not be suprised to find any of them living near each other. I have photo's of my grandmother with Ada and Bertha on a visit to Singleton in the early 1950's. I have shared these photo's with all those I have contacted and they have shared theirs with me.
Great Grandmother Henrietta went on to have other children under the name of Norrell and I am in contact with all of these. Any help would be most gratefully recieved. I hope some light will be shed when the partial 1911 census is released within the next two years as promised by the National Archives.
Once again many thanks,

                        Diane
