FOWLER from Ramsbury COMPLETED

[Barbara F]

It would be good to exchange information.

I have been checking to see what I now have on the Fowlers.

I have a copy of the marriage record for John and Mary Ann Rosier.  I also have a copy of Sarah's baptism record. I have the family on the 1841 census and a copy of the Indus passenger list.  I also have a copy of a photo of John and Mary Ann and a copy of a photo of their gravestone in Riwaka Cemetery.   Incidentally I have John's death as 24 April 1883 at the age of 91 and Mary Ann's on 20 July 1884 aged 82. 

I also have a brief memoir by Sarah Pratt nee Fowler about her early years in NZ as well as a copy of the book by her husband William about his experiences when he arrived.  I am sure that latter includes something about Sarah's brother John but I can check. I have Sarah's death certificate and will.

Other than that I have collected together various entries from family search and some transcripts relating to the Fowler family.  I need to verify these by either vsiting the Wiltshire Archives or buying fiche copies of the parish registers.  It seems I also ought to buy the death certificates for John and Mary Ann Fowler!

What I need to do is get this information in some sort of an order as I have obtained it from various sources over a period of time.  Your enquiry seems an opportune moment.

Hi there,
I am a descendant of the Fowler family from Ramsbury... My name is Glen Molloy (my father is Alistair Fowler)... Edwin Fowler is my 3Great Grandfather... Sarah Pratt (Fowler) is my 3Great Aunt... the family emigrated to New Zealand in 1842. I am looking for any information I can get about the family I understand that there is a Journal the Sarah wrote, I am wondering if anyone has access to or has a copy of it as I would love to read it Also any photos of the family that I could have scans of would be greatly appreciated... thank you

Hi Spritz and welcome to Rootschat     

It is good to find another Fowler researcher.  I have a fair amount of information on the family although I still need to get to the Wiltshire archives to look at the Parish Registers.

I do have notes on Sarah Fowler's early life in NZ - not sure whether they form part of a journal or are from  an interview she did later in life.  I will check.  I have a few photos although they are copies of copies so the quality isn't good.

What do you already know about the Fowler family?

Hi Barbara, I am so pleased to receive your response 
So I am descended from Edwin Fowler... he is my 3 great grandfather... I currently have details that take this line back to William Fowler b 1680 d 1740... I have a couple (3 in total) bites of info from Sarah Pratt (Fowler) about their early life in New Zealand, but would love to know more!!!!!! Also any photos (even copies of copies that may be scanned) would be really appreciated.
About me: So, I am Glen Molloy (my father is Alistair Fowler- mother choose not put him on my birth cert and they separated when I was about a year old) I am 33 years old and live in Auckland New Zealand. I was put into foster care at the age of 5 by my mother, so did not get to grow up with my family, and so the research I am doing is allowing me to gain a sense of belonging to my family heritage
I cannot send personal messages on this site yet, so if you could message me with your email address I will forward you mine for more correspondence if that is ok by you.
Again, thank you so much for your response
Kind regards
Glen

Hello Denise

Good to hear from you.

I need to add details of Edwin's wife and children to my tree so any information you can give me would be great. Be careful not to put any details of living people on this main board.

What information would you like from me? I have mainly followed up the family of Sarah Ann Fowler who married William Pratt.

When you have made a few more posts you will be able to use the PM system to contact me.
