William COWAN, Tavistock
« on: Friday 06 November 09 09:41 UTC (UK) »
William Cowan was born in Tavistock in about 1834. He married Sarah Ann Cornelius in 1856 in East Stonehouse. I can't find William's birth or his parents. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Simon

Wow! That's all possible isn't it. But what do you mean "could explain William's middle name?"

Thanks,

There is a later member of the family and the Mary Lucas you found would explain his name:

Herbert Lucas Corneilius Cowen was born in 1887 in Devonport, Devon.

Thank you very mcuh,
Simon
