Find Ancestors

Hi All
Roberts most likely laughing at me/us saying find me if you can Ha ha ha.
Some where on my excel I have 164 ways spelling Cowburn,
ie Robert spelt Cowburn,
His F Henry spelt Cowburn, Couburn,
His F Joseph spelt Cowburn, Couburn, Cowbrand,
His M Grace spelt Cowburn, Cowbrand.
So if I'm so pose to, will find him sooner or later I could also run out of time. A big Thankyou to All.

From down under Australia.

I think you really need to find Robert's baptism so that you are sure of his mother's name as well. There are a few Henry Cowburn's around.

Hi Reggie
I never did find his age can't remember where it came from
as you say it was quite a haul in those days! that was the reason
I put it to one side.
Doug

Without knowing his age, no way of finding him with any degree of certainty

BUT.........I thought you were sure which Henry was your direct line?

Manchester to Blackburn was quite a haul in those days!

Hi Reggie
have been looking up some old paper copies back in 2003
A henry Cowburn m Mary Smith 11 Dec 1833 Cathedral Manchester
Lancashire England. batch no M005468, dates 1832-1833, Source call No 0438196, type Film, Printout call no,6900002, type film.
Is it possible this sould have been the Henry, can anyone Please check If
he apears on 1841 census.
Doug

Vera was trying to convey that she is not connected.

If anyone on here did have a connection, they would tell you

Ann died in the March qtr of 1932. Any child born before her death would have been older than 8 in 1841

The general instruction re 1841 census was that ages of over-15's were to be rounded down to the nearest 5 - under 15's had their ages recorded accurately (or as accurately as was known by the person giving the info)

according to 1881 Robert was born in Oswldtwistle. The main church in Oswaldtwistle was not opened until 1837. Before that apparently the church used was St james in Church Kirk which is not online. I wonder if that is the missing link between Robert and the correct Henry

I don't think I have seen a baptism for Robert on this thread

posting this for reference - without reading through again I'm sure I saw some Rishton baptisms somewhere along the line

Hi Vera
I reread you said you did not have Isabella Cowburn in your tree
dose this mean you have cowburns if so where are you connected.
I also missed info which as help me leave Joseph & Anthony on the tree & Anns Death, may be Isabella / Elizabeth were born before Anns death because 1841 census can be or can not be 5yrs out as others dependen on who gave info or was taken at census time. any comment from 5yrs out.

Isabel Broadman possible Ralphs side have not got that far.

doug
fingers give way

Douglas

Sorry, but, as you aren't answering the questions posed, I can no longer try to help

So Isabel Boardman isn't the lady connected to you?

Ozi

you may be waiting a long time for that range...........

this is what they hold at the Lancs record office

BLACKBURN, St Paul; Diocese of Blackburn
C 1792-1955 M 1854-1955 B 1792-1912 Orig reg on
microfiche to 1900 PR 3340
C 1830-1840 B 1830-1840 Copy BT Microfilm DRB 2/17

I was using the microfilm yesterday so did not see any baptisms before 1830 but there was no Isabella or Elizabeth Cowburn (or variants) 1833 - 1840. The only ones I found I gave you in my last post

if you can let me know specific names and rough dates (possibly of later ones to prove you have the right line??) I will look next time I go

untill I find birth for isabella or elizabeth can only go on 1841 1851 census
that thay are differentiate family waiting for rest of St Pauls Church Blackburn to come online Baptisms1826 to 1884.
doug

it has already been proved that the death in 1838 is not your Isabella - see p1 of this thread

a) if she died in 1838 she would have not have been on the 1841 census

b) she was age 1 in 1838 when that death took place (see lancashirebmd.org.uk) and your Isabella was born about 1833

Cowburn was a fairly common name in the are of Blackburn / Lowr Darwen

looking at the births on lancs bmd at just 1839 - 1841 there are 8 different mother's maiden names recorded

I remarked on the discrepancy between 1841 and 1851 at the top of this page, and suggested a possible reason for it.

You still have not told us which, if any, of the 1841/1851Cowburns is your 100% proven relative.

It's easier to try to help you if we know the facts on which you are working.

My mistake re: the other man's name - transposed some info
