NOWELL fishing family of Brixham, Hull, Ramsgate & Tenby.

[_Noel]

A long shot.....
I just realized Tenby in Wales. I have 2 references to Wales for 2 different Noel family groups.

Just wondered if someone might see a fit.

1) William born Wales not sure where brothers Joseph and Jonathan born ca (1800-1810)

2) Isaac, James and ? ca 1755- 1775

Hi all

I found this early entry for a Nathaniel Nowell and didnt know if it would help anyone. Just discovered this website whilst looking for the baptisms for my John William Nowell in 1837 in Ireland

The Times and General Commercial Gazette (March 25 1835), St john's, Newfoundland

DIED on Monday evening last, after an illness of only forty-eight hours, Mr. JOSEPH NOWELL, aged 38, a native of Brixham, Devonshire.  His funeral will take place from the house of Mr. Goss, this afternoon, at 3 o’clock, when his friends and acquaintances are requested to attend.

I'm sure you must be right and he must be Joseph born 1794 son of Joseph & Mary, do we know if he had any family?   also in your 6.30 post on 19th Nov, presumably Philip's children were all born in Brixham as they were in the Brixham parish records. I didn't find the Joseph 1759 marriage info, was this England or Newfoundland, was there a bride?
My Tenby branch of the family is later than 18th century no William or Isaac, nor Jill can I find a Nathaniel. Did you find a date for John William, I have Dublin 1838 thats all .

No it looks like I transcribed the age wrong originally and Joseph and Mary are not a geat fit.

May not find that one.

Not sure these are Brixham but thought they might be related to the first Joseph

St. John's Anglican Cathedral records – Marriages Newfoundland

Has some onedone an overview of the family?

Who is where when?

Saw this posted on a board:

"My Davies and Nowell families, 1700-1890s, lived right on the front by
Tenby Harbour."

Not clear to me if the both families from the 1700's

My jigsaw puzzle starts with Philip born in Brixham at the end of the 16th century, there are a few earlier Nowells but any attempt to make a tree would be guess work. The Nowells stay in Brixham other than their seafaring until 1829 when
Henry b.1804 moves his family to Bridgewater.
William b.1806 has his family in Teignmouth & Brompton Kent 1834-47.
John William b.1809 has family in Brixham Ireland & Ramsgate 1831-51
Nicholas b.1810 has a daughter in Tenby in 1840
John 1818 has his family in Tenby 1844-47
Nicholas b.1815 has family in Ramsgate 1840
Stephen b. 1829 has family in Hull in 1850
In the 1870s some families went to London, but there was a lot of movement between Hull, Ramsgate Tenby & Brixham but with Brixham featuring less & less.
One Nowell Samuel b.1869 had his son Roger in Altoona USA, Roger joined the RFC in WWI and died falling from or being shot from a plane over France

I dont know about overview but I like to link these Nowells as far as possible! I think there are over 700.

Another early tie to Newfoundland I think. Devon Petition concerning the Newfoundland fishing trade 1642. Names original. Notes from Thomas Cole....may have errors.

Spelling questionable - are Knowlings same family as Nowells:

A researcher passed me this.

Richard Nowell, agent for John Slaney, Head of the Bristol London Company. Richard was born c.1594 at Brixham. He was the Son of Phillipe Nowell and Rycharde Eme, who were married in Brixham in 1589.
 
Richard Newell is referred to regarding the Coopers Cove settlement in Newfoundland:

Is this consistent with your information?
