There are several Thomas Cowens born in UK about 1788, which one is yours? Locations needed!

Sir Joseph Cowen is a well known figure around here (Newcastle my home town and Ryton in Co. Durham where my ancestors came from.)

The County Durham section of Rootschat will be useful to you as that's where the famous Cowens came from.
