Find Ancestors

I have recently come across a framed & embroidered "Sampler" apparently in memory of an Austin Mower Fotherby who died aged 26 on 15 Nov 1866. The back of the frame shows it to have been framed in Barnack nr Stamford in Cambs. I can find no trace of this person either here or in Free BMD. I would like to reunite the sampler with a descendant.
Can anyone help?

Patrick, might be worth contacting a local newspaper for the Fotherby area. A lot of them like these local history stories.

Mawer Austin - Louth 14 459

There is just one Austin Mawer on here,with no birth year.

I can't find a death that matches.

Well done **Ann**, !!!

What a lovely find Patrick, and how nice it would be to re-unite this with his family!!

I wish you well (and wish it were my family!!)

Best of luck,

Dea x

Reg death as Aubrey Mower 7a 329 Louth J/A/S 1867 when you view original it deffinately says Austin.

1841 census is name down as Augustin.

There are a few trees with his dad on.
William Mawer @ 1803-06 Covenham Lincs/Louth.

Maryb

Thank you Dee, funny I found a silver mug a few weeks ago that belonged to OH dad..........it was driving me nuts.....it was presented 1869 to blah blah Hadleigh......well I looked everywhere for the name combination before the penny dropped that the last name may be a town etc.

Never heard of Fotherby.........but it worked!......

Annx

Thanks very much to all of you especially perhaps Anne!!
I had assumed Fotherby was his surname ... but in error it seems!!
I will post an interest here on the Mowers & see what happens.

Many thanks to all. Here's still hoping I can connect with a living descendant!

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

So you think I may be correct then? If you start a fresh posting I would suggest you copy & Pastet he 1841/51 census for reference to other searchers.

Ann

OK I'm now confident we are talking about Austin Mower b.1841 Fotherby Lincs who died 15 Nov 1866 in Fotherby, Lincs.
His father was William Mower, Farmer of 35 acres in Covenham (1851) b.1803 & mother Sarah b. 1806.
He had siblings; William b.1838, Mildred b. 1839 & Sarah b. 1842

I would very much like to offer this sampler to an interested current descendant!!

Might be worth chasing this through to see if its the right Sarah

Hello again Patrick,

Was trying to get a handle on Midred (1839) as it is the least common name but no go yet, however here they are further down the line with a grandaughter Mildred.
