Seeking historical interest of Mr & Mrs Richard Owen both buried West Indies. Prosperous West Indies Merchant. Born 5 Dec 1754 Cheapside, City of London. Wife Catherine from Lancaster uk. I have the following from a book "Time honoured Lancaster"
Another well-known grave tells us that " Richard Owen died at the
Island of Bartholomew, in the West Indies, October 14th, 1809,
aged 53 ; his wife Catherine "Kitty' dying November 24th 1838, aged 78.
There is also a James Hawkins Owen commemorated, who died at
Demerara, April 18th, 1827, at the early age of 29. I need not say
whose parents and brother repose here, parents and brother of an
illustrious man who still survives at the time of writing. Taken from e-book Time-honoured Lancaster ... Historic notes on the ancient borough of Lancaster
I would appreciate a photo of this cemetery and grave if recognisable and other historical points of interest. Please use Personal Message for email exchange if you so wish. Thank you Frank. (Oxford uk )
