Samuel MOWELL born 1768 Suffolk?

[Anne1830]

Please can somebody help with a look up for Samuel Mowell b. 1768 in Suffolk.  I have looked in Mendham parish records already and cannot find his birth, so wondered if he could be in a parish contiguous to Mendham.  
I believe his parents were Samuel Mowell brn Mendham 1736 and Rebeckah Larke born Gillingham Norfolk  1733. Thanks Anne

I could not see any MOWELL's but there are quite a few HOWELL's around the South Elmham - St Margaret & All Saints.  Also Rumburgh but alas no bpt of a Samuel about that time.

Hello Anne and welcome to Rootschat 

Have you tried Mowl and Mole for your searches, Mowell is one of the many versions of this name.

Thanks for your suggestion - I will certainly follow it up.  There is a large contingent of Mowell, Mowles etc in Hertfordshire but I had always considered there was no link.  Certainly the date of birth looks right so I will have to start researching with a fresh mind!

Hitcham is a village in Suffolk, not far from Hadleigh.

The family of my husband, from his mothers side, are Mowles, they all come from Whatfield in Suffolk, and many of them still live in that area.  We have their history from the arrival of the first in the family in that area, Isaac Mowles/Moule/Moules/ or somesuch, as he could not read or write and his names was at first spelled many ways, but was finally arrived at as Mowles, and that is what the family have used since those early days.  We are happy to share family info with any other family member.

Thanks so much for offers of help.  I have looked at the Whatfield Mowles family trying to find a connection but couldn't.  I would certainly like the opportunity to see the family tree and history from Isaac Mowles.

the Mowles family of my husband lived mostly in Whatfield and also in Hadleigh, there are a few mentions of family members named Samuel, but if you dont think they are related to your Mowell family then no point in you having the family tree if you have already checked and found no connection. Sorry, we only share our research, which has taken about 40 years so far, with family members who can show a connection
