Fowler, County Waterford.

[RoisininIreland]

I believe that my 3 times great grandfather was Captain John Fowler and I've heard that he was buried in Crooke, County Waterford.

I know he had a daughter, Agnes, born in the 1850's, but that's all I know about my Fowlers.

Can anyone shed any light on my Fowler ancestors?

Thanks.

There is a marriage for an Agnes Fowler in the Civil Registration index -  http://pilot.familysearch.org
District: Waterford. Qtr: Jul/Sep. 1878. Vol: 4 Pg 402.
 A quick search for a spouse failed to find a corresponding record. Might be worth checking though.
There are numerous Fowlers on the Death Resister index available online at -
www.waterfordcountylibrary.ie/en/familyhistory/
When checking the records the District will be Woodstown and the Union will be Waterford.
Also a John Fowler in 1901 Ireland census, age 80, townland of Raheen (near Crooke).
An Edmund John Fowler born 1861 in Waterford was awarded the V.C in 1879 in South Africa.

How did I not see that marriage record before?  Thank you so much - that's her alright.  I double checked her husbands name (John O'Connell) and the index details match.  I need to order a copy of that record to find out more  .

I had checked the census, but I was thinking that he would have included his previous occupation or included Captain in his name - maybe?

Thanks again - I'm off to order that marriage record now.  Excellent!

John Fowler (born c.1836) married Margaret Egan (born c.1837) and had the following children:

Ann Mary 1850 (in Passage); Agnes Margaret 1852 (in Waterford City); Robert 1854 (in Passage); Margaret 1857 (in Passage); Winifred 1861 (in Passage); George Michael 1863 (in Passage).

John was a ship captain but later became a Publican in Waterford City and died on 4th January, 1901.

Winifred became a Mrs. Roche, but was widowed by 1901, with 4 children aged between 1 and 6.

I have found a George Michael Egan-Fowler in the UK, being raised from a young age by an uncle and was born in County Waterford around 1864. I suspect this is my George Michael, but I've no idea why he might have been sent to live with an uncle.

Margaret, Winifred and her children were living with their mother Margaret, a Publican, in Waterford City in 1901.

Any info on these Fowlers would be gratefully appreciated.
