Hi Lynn,
So sorry to reply this way, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to respond directly to your last message.
Thank you so much for the information you passed along. There is definitely a connection to between your Janet Fowler and my Colin Fowler. From what I’ve been able to determine from the IGI, Colin Fowler and Cathrine Gordon had the following children (maybe some of them show up in your listing of MI’s):
Janet Fowler - Christening: 23 Nov. 1757 Urquhart And Logie Wester. She married Colin Simson on 16 Feb. 1779 in Urquhart and Logie Wester, and had a son named John Simson on 1 Sep 1783 in Urquhart And Logie Wester.
James Fowler - Christening: 20 Dec. 1759 Urquhart And Logie Wester. James his M.A. at King s College, Aberdeen ; M.A. in 1781; licensed by Presb. of Dingwall 12 Sept. 1787; ordained missionary at Fort-Augustus 30th Nov. 1791; minister of Urquhart and Glenmoriston; married Margaret Grant, daughter of Alpin Grant and Agnes Shaw, May 9, 1799; died May 25, 1814; interred at Kilmore Cemetery. The Grant family managed sugar plantations in British Guiana for some time.
Thomas Fouler - Christening: 7 Dec. 1762 Urquhart And Logie Wester
Christian Foular - Christening: 16 Nov. 1763 Urquhart And Logie Wester
Donald Foular - Christening: 26 Oct. 1765 Urquhart And Logie Wester
Colin Foular - Christening: 10 Nov. 1767 Urquhart And Logie Wester
Margaret Foular - Christening: 4 Jan. 1770 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty
William Foular - Christening: 14 Dec. 1771 Urquhart And Logie Wester.
Cathrine Foular - Christening: 29 Jan. 1778 Urquhart And Logie Wester
John Foular - Christening: 4 Oct. 1779 Urquhart And Logie Wester
Your message indicates that Colin Fowler also had a son by the name of Alexander Fowler, who does not show up in the IGI. I have not been able to make the link between my ggg-grandfather, Charles Fowler, and Colin Fowler, so I have always suspected that some of his children’s births/christenings were not recorded or have not yet been put into the IGI.
The children of my ggg-grandfather, Charles Fowler, and my ggg-grandmother, Sarah Deadman, were as follows (maybe some of them show up in your listing of MI’s):
Catherine Gordon Fowler (born 3 Feb. 1810; christening 17 Feb. 1810; in Elgin)
Samuel Deadman Fowler (born 3 June 1811; christening 22 June 1811; in Elgin). He moved to Kingston, Ontario where he worked as a customs clerk and died there on 13 Jul 1871.
Colin Fowler (born 25 Jan. 1813; christening 8 Feb. 1813; in Elgin)
Sarah Morgan Fowler (born 7 June 1814; christening 18 June 1814; in Elgin); married William Rae on 8 Feb. 1838 and lived in the Newhills area of Aberdeen.
James Fowler (born 12 Mar. 1816 in Elgin); married Jane Aitken. His sons owned a sugar refining business in Port Glasgow and later in the Blackwall area of London.
Charles Calder Fowler (born 24 Feb. 1818; christening Mar. 8, 1818; in Elgin)
Alexander Fowler (born Jan. 21, 1820; christening Feb. 9, 1820; in Elgin). He was my gg-grandfather. He moved to Ontario around 1850, then to Chicago in 1872, and died 20 March 1889 in Chicago. He married Sophia Beattie on 24 Jul 1845 in Aberdeen. She was the daughter of the rector of Tain Academy, Alexander Beattie.
Thomas Hughes Gordon Fowler (born 21 July 1821; christening 9 Aug. 1821; in Elgin). He married Selina Mary Tillbury. He managed a sugar plantation in British Guiana and also served as a Justice of the Peace in Essequebo. He died before 1865.
Fyfe Fowler (born 21 Aug. 1822; christening 27 Sept. 1822; in Elgin). He moved to Kingston, Ontario about 1854 and was Dean of the Queen’s Medical School, Kingston.
William Brown Fowler (christening 7 June 1826 in Aberdeen)
I’m still trying to make the link between our families. It seems to me that Colin Fowler’s son, William Fowler, may not be the father of your ggg-grandmother, since I found a William Fowler and Isobel Rose married 30 Mar 1775 in Urquhart and Logie Wester (note: Colin’s son, William, was born in 1771, so he is far to young to be the husband of this Isobel Rose). My best guess is that Colin Fowler may have been an uncle to the William Fowler who married Isobel Rose. I’ll keep digging and keep you posted.
Kind regards,
Lisa
