Rowberrow Parish Registers
« on: Sunday 23 May 10 20:46 BST (UK) »
Please can anyone help me with baptisms for Rowberrow?
I am looking for details of James Vowles born approximately 1796, also John Vowles c 1801 and Thomas 1788.  They were in Bristol in 1851.

Thank you.

Although John Vowles lists his place of birth as Rowberrow on Census reports, Merchant Navy records list his place of birth as Pill, Somerset, and date of birth 27.VIII.1801, but I have been unable to trace any other support of his birth or parentage.  I am tracking his 1846 daughter, Eliza, daughter of Sarah A. Stevens (Stephens), who claims to have been born in Shipham, but records show Rowberrow.  Any photos or other information would be appreciated.  Eliza apparently never married, but had children by Alfred Baker, Huish Episcopi Blacksmith, and Charles Dunn, Langport White Lion publican and Wearne Tailor.

FreeREG shows a John Vowles baptised 2 Jun 1801 in Easton-in-Gordano, parents John and Sarah. Pill was in that parish.
