Hi,
I have a copy of the will of William Bartholomew, carpet/hearth rug manufacturer, Finsbury, who died in 1845.
I am happy to share.  My interest in a John Jamieson, carpet manufacturer.  William or his son William was a witness on a marriage for John's daughter in 1840.

Regards,
Elizabeth.

Citizen Howarth Cowdery died 25 Dec 1828
He married Martha RATHBONE  11 Sep 1816 Manchester Cathedral.

Martha dedicated a stained glass window in the Sandbach parish church to her siblings and husband.

" This window is dedicated to the memory of William Rathbone Esq, barrister at law of the Inner
Temple London, who died on the i'' May 1857 in the 72"'' year of his age; of Harriet Rathbone who
died on the 12"' July 1853 aged 65 years; of Joseph Rathbone who died on the 30*'' January 1810 aged
16 years, sons and daughters of the late John and Mary Rathbone of Sandbach : also of Citizen Howarth
Cowdroy Esq their son in law who died on the 25"' Dec. 1828 in the 34"' year of his age, by their much

Martha is living in Tranmere CHS in 1851 with her sister Harriet Rathbone and her son John Rathbone Cowdroy and daughter Emma.
In 1861 Martha is cited as being born in Scotland and is living in Oxton and Woodchurch.  Her occupation is described as "Gentlewoman in charge of house".
Her son John Rathbone Cowderoy was by this time married to Emma DARLINGTON and had several children.  John was curate of Oxton Parish in Cheshire in 1861.  One of his sons Ernest Darlington Cowdrey married Elizabeth JAMIESON in Nov 1877 in West Kensington.
By 1871 Rev. John R Cowderoy and family were living in Fulham London.

The JAMIESON connection is who I am interested in.  Elizabeth being the daughter of Alexander Jamieson, Contractor but mother unknown.

Hi Barb,

Can you tell me where you found him in Canada or what led you there.  I did see his death in SA under Youngs.  Seems like you have found out quite a bit about his parents and family - just wondering if someone had made contact with you.

Hello,

I came across your entry for Emery YOUNG and was taken by the names Charles YOUNG and Vere CAMERON.

Have you managed to confirm if this is your family?

I believe your Emery may be born to this couple and perhaps a brother to Colin who I am researching.
When Colin got married his mother's name was cited as Emily and if you say Evere/Vere quickly you can sound like Emery.  Add a thick Scottish accent and it is possible.
What gave me the clue was Colin named his eldest daughter Evere Hannah Young.

Would love to exchange notes.
