Would anyone be able and willing to check this list for me at Shropshire Archives, Castle Gates, Shewsbury. I wouldn't think this is a very large list.

I am seeking any men with the surname ROWLES.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

This is Henry Rowles pictured during early 1915 whilst at summer territorial camp.
He picture is a bit faded and could benefit from improvement.
Thank you for looking.

Europe / From Lithuania but born in Germnay
« on: Saturday 14 May 22 15:14 BST (UK)  »
Is there any chance of finding out more about this man and his earlier family.

Samuel Fine was born about 1867 in Germany. His family had come from Lithuania and were making their way west. Samuel married 26.11.1898 at Pontypridd to Mary Hannah Jones.
He died after an accident on 2..8.1911 at Mardy, Rhondda age just 35.

Is it possible to find a birth for him in Germany. It is believed he was Jewish.
He did not becaome naturalised as he said in the 1911 census, or if he did I could not find it.
It is believed that his father's name was Jacob but can't guarantee that.

At last a good copy of this picture has been supplied to me.
As you will see it was taken on a windy day and Tom's tie is flapping in his face.
I would be happy for the tie to be put in it's proper place and also for his pipe to be removed
to make a clearer picture of his face.
Thomas Theodore Redvers Rowles served in WW1 as a sapper in the Royal Engineers.
Any improvement would be very much appreciated.
