Rynhart/Cowman (Kilcormick/Castledockrell)

[laochrione]

Hi

I'm researching my grandparents John Cowman and Annie Rynhart from Mountfin Upper in Bunclody. Born in the mid to late 1830s, Annie died in 1919 and as of yet, I've been unable to find a death record from John. Apart from John's DOB (15 Nov 1834) and Annie's DOD (9 Feb 1919) I've no other information on them themselves.

They had 6 children (that I've found) all girls: Ellen (ca 1864), Anne (9 Apr 1865), Julia (13 Sep 1867), Elisabeth (14 Jan 1870), Catherine (10 Sep 1872) and my grandmother Alice (m. Balfe, 3 Sep 1875). I can't find a birth record for Ellen, but Anne, Julia, Elisabeth and Catherine were all born in Kilcormick. My granny Alice was born in Castledockrell.

If anyone has any insight into this family it'd be most appreciated. I would especially like to find out about Annie Rynhart as I have no other recorded Rynhart's in the family and I'd like to find out more about her line.

Thank you in advance!
Kelley

Possibly John and Anne with their grandson Francis in 1901 LINK
at house 4 in Mountfin Upper (Castledockrell, Wexford)

Birth record for Francis COWMAN LINK

Death of Anne COWMAN LINK  shown as widow
informant Frank COWMAN shown as son
This implies that John COWMAN died between 1901 and 1919


Have you found the family on the 1911 census?
I can see Frank COWMAN but cannot see John and Anne

very good dathai - I couldn't see her, then again didn't try CAWMAN!
that then implies that John COWMAN died between 1901 and 1911

While it appears that you have found the folks you specifically enquired about, you should be aware that in Wexford Cowman = Cummins/Cummings.  The same people can appear as either Cowman or Cummins. This identity is in standard reference works, and I have personally encountered it in my family.

Thanks Wexflyer - the challenge of name variants!!
