Buckinghamshire / Re: STONHILL at the King's Head in Stewkley
« on: Sunday 19 April 15 19:06 BST (UK)  »
In researching family history on my mothers side of the family she is connected to the Stonhill's I discovered that Thomas Stonhill was first married to Ester Hedges Stonhill they had 5 children and she died in 1846 one son was named Thomas born about 1840, his second wife was Mary Elizabeth Hedges who also seems to have had 5 children.  If this is help to you I will try and go through my notes which I started on last year and see what I can find out.  I think that my mother's grandmother was Ester Hannah Stonhill who was from the second marriage, married William Bowden my grand father.   Interestingly many of the Bowden/Stonhill family are buried in Highgate Cemetery in London.   Please let me know if this helps.

Yes this would fit in with what I know, my grandmother Eleanor Maude Stonhill Bowden was born in August 1890 and died at the age of 26, according to my records Ester Hannah and William Bowden had 7 or 8 children.   I know that my grandmother Eleanor spent time in Stewkley as we have a photograph of her taken outside of what looks like a farm.  I now live in the USA and during a visit to London this summer we did drive to Stewkley to see if we could find the farm or anyone who knew the Bowden family without success and we visited the church.  On a Real Estate board in the village I found a telephone number for Ian Bowden and called and spoke to him but he told me his family was not from that area.   Any information on the Stonhill or Bowden family would be much appreciated.
