Hello Kessia

I am so interested in your post as my husband's family includes the Fowlers from Ramsbury. 

He is descended from Sarah Fowler, the daughter of John and Mary Ann, who married William Pratt. William and Sarah's daughter Emma married into the Lewin family.

I have some information on the earlier Fowlers given to me by a relation but have not checked it out myself yet!

Do let me know how you are connected.

Yes we are distantly related. I have a photo and some information on William Pratt that I obtained through a goggle search. Try cutting and paste the following link http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-137108831/fowler-family-tree or try going to the myheritage site and hopefully you can see what info I have managed to obtained. Keep informed how you go.

Hi Steve

I have a copy of a book by William Pratt describing his early years in NZ.  Fascinating reading.

I will have a further look at your tree - but which sibling of Sarah are you descended from plaese?

I will check the information I have and get back to you,

Barbara

Thanks Barbara, I am a direct descendant of John Fowler which was Sarah elder brother. You are most welcome to look at the basic family tree. If you want more detailed information you would have to join the site (which is free) and then I would have to give you permission to view it. If you do not want to join we can share any info privately via email. Keep me informed.

Thanks Trish I need to sit down and digest the information you have provided. I think the first posting makes is a definite but the second has confused me abit. I'll need to refer to an old copy of the family tree that someone made many years ago but the names are hard to read so hopefully I might be able to make a match.

Hi Steve,
I am pretty sure that what I have posted on Samuel 1765 is correct. There cant be many Samuel Fowlers of that age born in Ramsbury.
And in fact he is the only one I have been able to find.
