1841 Lookup Please... Cowx
« on: Saturday 18 March 06 17:06 GMT (UK) »

Hi

I am keen to find out which members of the Cowx family are listed in 1841.

The particular branch I am looking for reside in Bassenthwaite, particularly looking for John (bc1804); George (bc1810) and William (bc1822).

Any others would also be useful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ange,

Thanks.  You've picked up the Senior John which is great but there's also his son John (bc1804) making him around 37 in 1841, definitely no sign of him?

Now need to track George in 1851 census which may also show William. Do you have access to the 1851 census?

thanks again,

Frank

Hi Ange

Thanks again.

I think I'll have to dig abit more about William. My problem is there are so many Cowx families in Cumbria (Bassenthwaite, Uldale, Whitehaven, Workington, Penrith etc) that working out who is related to who is going to take me a few more years  Grin

Hope you don't mind if I call on your services again at some point.

regards

Hi Frank

Did you ever find out anything more about your Cowxes?  I see from the censuses that your elusive William turns up in the 1861 census at Bassenthwaite in the same house as his widowed sister Sarah Slater and her children, still unmarried. As he is listed there as a commercial traveller, I should have thought he is indeed the William Cowx found by Ange in Middlesbrough, also as a commercial traveller, in the 1851 census, and that "Carlisle" there is a mistake.

I can't find your John b. 1804 in either 1841 or 1851, even though I have also looked for him as John Cox and John Cowse (which I know is an alternative spelling of the name).

My own tree has, in case this information is of any use to you, an Ann Cowx born Crosthwaite in 1854, who married an Isaac Cartmel; their first child was a William Cowx Cartmel or William Cowse Cartmel (b. 1888).
