ROWNEY families in Beds. in 1600's

[marc roberts]

Thanks Cathy.

So far I've found the ROWLEY and ROWNEY families to be quite distinct. I often look at ROWLEY information "just in case" but can't remember ever finding a ROWNEY who had become a ROWLEY or the other way around. Not saying it didn't happen, or that there probably aren't some isolated records where a mistake may have been made, but I can't remember seeing many. There are quite a few variations on the ROWNEY name which do come up from time to time however - ROWNIE, ROWNY, RONEY, ROUNIE, etc., now I will look more carefully at ROWNING too, which I hadn't noticed before.

I guess you would have to be pretty hard of hearing to confuse the two names 

18 ROWNEY Wills on UK National Archives - none of them from Bedfordshire
