Descendants sought : Fannie ATKINSON (COWAN) born Old Ford Middlesex 1871

[rbell35]

Seeking contact with descendants of Fannie ATKINSON (born COWAN) who was born at Old Ford London Middlesex in 1871.

Fannie was the daughter of Frederick COWAN, engineer & Fanny Cowan nee RICHARDSON. Her parents lived in Walthamstowe, West Ham, Essex during the 1890s. Fannie married a George Walter ATKINSON in Walthamstowe in 1897

I am the great grandson of Frederick Cowan through his son Henry Richardson Cowan, wheelwright & blacksmith, who married Fanny Esther PATTERSON. Henry settled in the Eastwood area in Essex during the 1890s. Henry's daughter Edith May Cowan (1915-2009) was my mother.

I would dearly love to know more about Fannie's life & obtain copies of any photos of both her & her family. Perhaps photos of her parents still exist out there in the ether! I have never seen photos nor heard from members of this part of the family...

Any information from my distant COWAN cousins is very much appreciated. Thank you in anticipation. You are very welcome to contact me. Cheers Rob - Melbourne Australia

Rob, if you look at the very bottom of the page, you will see a black section.

There is a title Your Tools, and underneath that one entry is the Surname Interest Table

Hope that helps!
