Hello from Downunder
I descend from Patrick Cowin (1755-1827) of Ballcannell, Lonan and Alice Clague and am part of the Australian branch of this large family. I am happy to share the copious Oz info that I have.
Current Problem: A Cowin family (see Subject for the early ones, they married 1825 at Braddan) moved to Mauritius and then split - one branch to South Africa, the other to South Australia. Research suggests this branch is also descended from Patrick Cowin but I cannot establish how. My Cowins/Clagues seem to have been strong around Braddan, Douglas and Lonan.
I am sure that if I knew the parents of both John and Margaret, it might solve the problem. Can any kind person out there help?
Cheers, Ross of Canberra
