HI All I am trying to find out the parents of JOHN ROWLEY b abt 1823 STANDON,HERTFORDSHIRE, He gives Standon as his place of birth on the 1851,1861, & 1871 Censuses, Regards Pughy
HI Pam Thank's very much for your replies. I had found the the family on the the 1841 Census in Cheshnut Herts, they are also on the IGI born in Cheshnut, my concern is that he gives STANDON as his birth place on 1851, 1861, 1871, Censuses. But checking on the distance between the two places it is only about 15 miles. Are you familiar with the area if so , could it be that Standon was in the Parish of Cheshnut ?. Regards Pughy
The family of ROWLEYS baptized at Cheshunt (inlcuding John) may be yours. ROWLEY is quite an unusual name, and folk did move about, however, it might also be a co-incidence. I would have thought that to be certain you would need a lookup from the Standon Parish Records. These are available from HALS
HI Rick Thank's for all the information, you will have to excuse my ignorance but what is HALS, P.S. Just done a Google is it Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies Regards Pughy
