I'm trying to find out more about the Dowse family. My 3rd gr grandmother was a Mary Anna Dowse (m. Charles Horner). I was able to trace the family back to my 10th gr grandparents, Simon Douse and Prudence Ringe, married June 1628 at Saint Swithun Over Kingsgate, Winchester, and descended through their son Cuthbert. The family seems to have been based in Bishop's Waltham for a long time. Does anyone have any history about the family?
