So far without success, I have been looking for the Irish roots of my Great Grandfather, James Cowan, born c. 1814. He married an Ellen Broadbent in Liverpool in 1842, and the record gives his father's name as Phillip.
Another Ancestry members' family tree has thrown up the same James as been married in County Down to 'Jane' (1806-1841). I have a death of Jane Cowan in Liverpool in 1841, so, if correct, James would have been free to marry a year later.
I would be grateful if anyone could find the marriage in Co. Down, and any other information regarding the Cowans. Thank you.
