Thank you to all those who have taken the time to search for James Vivian Gower.
I am still looking into all possibilities. Out of interest from a post sent by rosie99, I have looked at the Hampshire Advertiser, very interesting. Checked out the vessel "American" on the website Crew List Index Project, it gives Jas V Gower birthplace as St Kitts in the Carribean!!! If there is anyone out there who knows about researching the Carribeans, it would be a great help, just to establish if he is the right James or not....

Again, Thank you all for your help.
I am 99 percent certain that James V Gower, who worked on the "American" and "Norman" is the right James who married Caroline Ellen Hodgson. The remaining 1 percent, is to establish if his father is George Gower...

I would post a birth/baptism look-up request for James Vivian GOWER on the Other Countries Board.

Someone may know where to find St Kitts records.

Have a look at the third to last post on this message board (it's fairly recent).

Your nearest LDS Family History Centre may have access to the records.
